WORKFLOW STAGES
1. CONVERTING: photo RAW (ARW) is a format where all the values of the photo settings are averaged, which gives a dull lifeless picture at first glance. At this stage, the photo is converted - adjusting the light, color, white balance, contrast, detail, saturation of shades, mixing and combining them.
2. TECHNICAL CLEANING: at this stage, defects, flaws, acne, scars, excess hair, debris, folds from clothes, dirt from the background and other objects that distract attention are removed.
3. SHAPE CORRECTION: giving the object of the photo more graceful, smooth, attractive shapes, body shaping, adding volume to the hair, correction in the direction of aesthetic symmetry of shapes.
4. RETOUCHING: for retouching the skin, I use the technique Dodge and Burn to preserve skin texture and clean up the photo gently. To smooth out transitions in a small amount, the Frequency Decomposition technique is used. I never use automatic filters to smooth my skin, as they lather the skin and create a substandard result. I only use hand-made quality retouching techniques.
5. DETAILING: this stage includes detailed work with makeup (eyes, eyebrows, lips), jewelry, and a product.
And also at this stage, the strands of hair and the hairstyle in general are deeply retouched.
6. COLORGRADING: working with color, shades and blending, enhancing color accents, recreating the color volume, working with the background color and the general combination of colors in the photo
7. STYLING: at this stage, the photo is colored, acquiring a unique recognizable style. It is after stylization that the photo comes to its final finished look.
