Saw this on digg, thought I'd share (warning, pretty disturbing);

be sure to look through them all by clicking "more samples"


yet more evidence (if it was ever needed) that, just because something can be done, doesn't mean it should be done.

I don't have a sig, live with it.

Those are pretty ugly looking. They turned them into dolls, all human emotion has been removed!

Freaky.

Yes. Dolls. Horrific horror movie death dolls.

Clearly he could make his money touching up models, where that's common practice. Why does he have to touch up small children and married women?

Fallout...ewww...

They do look very lifeless, 'natural beauty' my rear, it's another form of artificial appearance that completely removes the natural look. Personally if I were to have my kids' (If I were to have kids) photos on display, I'd have them as they are and not an artificial look, as for one thing they'd look better in my eyes as themselves and not as some fake.

Though I have seen much much better photoshop work.

It looks fine, but that lipstick looks like it was added in as a joke.

Though that lady is kinda ugly to begin with, and any photo shopping on her looks mediocre at best.

His website isn't all that nice to begin with. There are photo retouchers, and even artists who can airbrush from scratch, who are far better than him.

Anyway let's all enjoy our young faces while we still have them

I'm not even gonna go into detail as to how wrong that sounds


Anyways, I think changing how someone looks in photoshop to make yourself look better is ridiculous.

I honestly don't see why people need to airbrush their photos. I mean, unless your skin is really mutilated, a simple zit removal will do.
