I recently revamped my slideshow showing the difference between Basic and Fine Art Edits. I think it’s really fun to see the comparison and I hope it helps past and future clients better understand what those two terms can really mean. I always try to make my clients look good, but I think turning a Basic Edit into a Fine Art Edit makes them look really good!
I wanted to show you some of the basic things that can be done with Fine Art Edits, but I didn’t want to hurt any of my clients feelings by showing their before and afters. So I decided to use myself as an example instead! The photos below were taken by Kelli Nicole, but all editing was done by myself.
The most common question I get is whether I can “make someone look skinnier”. I can’t make you look like a different person, but I can make small adjustments to help you look slimmer.
The photo on the left is a Basic Edit, on the right is the Fine Art. For the Fine Art Edit I slimmed my waist down, took in my thighs a bit, smoothed my skin, and made the photo richer and sharper overall.
I also have clients frequently asking about their skin, as they would like to know if I can help them have brighter eyes and clearer skin (who doesn’t want that?).
This first photo is a Basic Edit. Although I hate pointing you toward it, go ahead and look at my chin. Isn’t that bump awful?
In this Fine Art Edit the spots on my forehead, chin, and cheeks are gone. My skin is brighter and smoother overall. I sharpened the eyes a little bit and removed a distracting light spot just to the right of my head. The photo is richer and sharper overall. I liked this one so much I ended up making it my new profile photo on Facebook and Twitter!
