Retouching

Post production is the bane of every photographer. In some cases its fun to give a client a third arm or make something disappear, but you soon realise editing is the exception, not the norm. 

When you take 500 photos of people dancing, you end up with 500 choices multiplied onto themselves. You could straighten it, black or white, does the client look fat, how much should you crop it etc. 

I just did the shoot on Monday for SNAP Downtown, and here is an unconcious self portrait while reloading in front of a mirror.
