Retouching as in airbrushing you beyond recognition no.
I want my photographs to be authentic; to show the best You. The art of photography lies not in trying to improve mediocre photos through clever manipulation.
The retouching I do is not about glam and gloss: I do not want to alter anything, I do not remove wrinkles or add waistlines, but you will still look beautiful.
I correct the invariable spec of dust, the eyelash that has settled on a cheek or a temporary spot in your face.
