"Make me beautiful": the photographer found out how expensive retouching differs from cheap

Irene Rudnik, a professional photographer from Canada, decided to conduct a curious experiment. The girl entrusted the processing of the same photo to freelance retouchers demanding different fees for work, and compare the result.

She chose a pretty good source: it has a model with good skin, and the frame itself did not need complex color correction.

She gave the same instructions to all the participants in her experiment:

And that's what she got. Make sure you are ready, some results may shock you. Are you convinced? Then let's start watching!

The skin has become better, but too unnatural, the hair has not become redder. But in general, the result is acceptable.

Irene thought that she should have given more detailed instructions about the skin color, besides, the photographer was ready from the very beginning to correct the result in accordance with the customer's requirements.

Needless to say, the girl was not too happy with the work of freelancers, but there are no friends for the taste and color. Her favorite of the presented ones is processing for $ 5.

Here are other shots of this photo shoot:

And here are examples of "before/after" from Irene:

Irene Rudnik decided to entrust photo processing to different freelancers and evaluate the result.

She is a professional photographer herself, but it's interesting to try!

She suggested to all photoshoppers to improve this picture

Processing for 25 cents (17.8 rubles).

This treatment shocked Irene, she laughed for a long time and decided that the model had become like Shrek

Processing for $ 5 (350 rubles).

Processing for $ 10 (712 rubles).

The photo has become brighter, all the conditions are met, but the skin tone is too unnatural.

So Irene processed this photo herself.

And, of course, she considers her processing the best.
