Here is a couple shots of the Broadmoor Mall in Richmond, a recent shoot I completed for Kasian Architecture, that illustrate my retouching process. Not every shoot requires this level of retouching, but as you can see, it can take a really cluttered and average looking photograph and give it that certain 'Je ne sais quoi' that make the image come to life.
This level of retouching can take many hours, especially as in the case with the above photographs where you are drawing in elements of the photograph that aren't existent anywhere in the image (and thus can't be cloned).
I've considered a 'before/after' section on my webpage but I want to keep it as uncluttered as possible... so I'm thinking from time to time I may post a couple examples on the blog.
