    True identity...


    For a while I have been thinking about using photoshop within photography.
    Since lately I get many questions from models if I want to reduce their underchin, get rid their puffy cheeks and make them look more thin. Of course this all can be done, no problem...
    Besides the removal of pimples, little scars and other skin related things, sure I can form anybody into a real model.
    When we talk about 'plain' portraits, family shots etc. then sorry I must dissapoint you! I do NOT remove underchins, reduce weights and all that kind of stuff. I think it's like you are disown yourself. Not excepting the way you look, or maybe have a whole different idea about the way you look.

    People should have trust in the photographer, you've seen the photographers work. I guess that's why you choose that photographer, because you liked all previous work. Therefor the photographer should be able to work freely and get some respect. Have faith in the photographer that they will get the best out of you and surely choose the nicest photos.

    Don't get me wrong here: I am a BIG fan of photoshop! and pro-pimple remover! That's for sure. I just questioning why people keep on asking to make these huge adjustments on their body. Asking me to transform them into someone else, not accepting that they might look a little different then Doutzen Kroes or Kate Moss. I think most beauty is on the inside, that's why I like photographing spontaneous portraits and am not so fan of posed portraits.(note: Still talking about 'plain' portraits and family shots here!) The challenge for me is to capture unforced portraits, within a directed organised studio scene.
