Boudoir et retouche de portraits pour les photographes

Really well done! Looking forward to seeing more of your work. Thank you Marko for your knowledge! :)

Hey Emma! I am not sure why I can't see the image. Could you please check again if it got uploaded! Can't wait to see your work, and thanks for the kind words!

Hi Marko I have corrected it now. thank you

Hey Emma, thanks a lot! 

 Gotta say this looks better than I've expected! I like the color correction direction you've taken, playing with those teal and oranges which I like in my shots too. You've executed this quite well and you definitely have an eye for it, cause you've toned it beautifully! 
 
 The skin retouch looks nice, soft and glam and this is always a plus with boudoir works. Most of the ladies I've photographed have always appreciated that the shots I've did for them. 

I wish Skillshare would allow you to upload a fullsize so I can inspect skin in detail :)) 

 A couple of things that is good to pay attention when working on your shots in future would be 1. As I've mentioned skin detail above, I would probably dial down the edit on her legs, not by a lot , but some 10-15% percent would probably be good, simply so legs would match better with her face.
 
 2. When it comes to matching things, let's tackle color! Looking at her legs and stomach area and comparing them with the vibrance/saturation she has on her face, there is a bit of a difference with face looking a bit more saturated. I feel that the face overall has a bit more of those red/rosy tones compared to the lower parts of the body.
I would probably go for those subtle tones in her stomach/ribs/leg area for the overall body, but I think things could look just as nice, evening out the saturation/vibrance across her whole body area. This is always good to keep an eye out for and it's very easy to miss after working on an image for a long period of time.I know cause I do the same so often! :)) 3. The arm stretched behind the model's hand would probably be better with the same treatment applied. If you'd compare it with the rest of the body and face it looks a bit lifeless so punch some color back into it! :)) It has probably gotten blue-ish due being in the shadowy area that you've applied colder toning to. I think when I was retouching this image, it's something I've gotten back to and fixed, 'cause once again - it was easy to miss! 4. This one is a minor suggestion. The leg resting on the bed, precisely the area most exposed to the window light is where I'd dial down the orange of the skin tones a bit. I have a feeling that this area being a bit more white, matching with the white light coming off the window would probably give that part of her leg a more natural look. I am not sure if this is something that you've colored during the retouch process or this is how it has turned out during the color correction phase, but I have just noticed it, it's a minor thing really. The preview is still on the small side so I can't zoom in as much as I would like in order to check the skin texture up close, but feel free to drop me an email to markosmiljanic1994@gmail.com with the fullsize shot and I would gladly give it a proper look! Thanks again for sharing your work with me and the world.
Don't let the huge pile of text I wrote above discourage you. You've done a fantastic job, and I would love to see more of what you do in future!
