I have so much more confidence now doing my glamour retouching.”

"I wanted to teach my methods because they are way faster than traditional ‘frequency separation' techniques which are very time-consuming. If you want to create an award-winning portrait, there is no getting around learning the art of retouching with Photoshop for ultimate control."
