In my opinion, there is no right or wrong, to much or to little when it comes to retuching. The answer is in the question "who's the client?" If the portrait is of the client who is private and not a model (example: the bride/groom, the mother/father, the individual wanting a photo), then that individual should call the shots. If the client is a magazine, retailer, etc., then that client still calls the shots, not the model. The photog. can/may make recommendation, suggestions, etc but it is still the client s/he works for and is paying the bills. |
