Before and after

It has been hard to explain clients why it takes such a long time to "print" the potraits. Most people expect us photographers have a small room somewhere where a photo fairy makes everything ready in less than an hour. Time is needed for the photoshop treatment and getting those polished digital negatives to a carefully chosen lab and back.
These are two portraits that I polished for our national competition last year. You cannot imagine how long it took...I mean all the years of studying and getting experience before that.
