Photoshop Skin Portrait

Before:After:
For this assignment we had to take a portrait shot with a digital camera, using the strobe light. I used this photo out of several good ones because it was the only picture that showed off the most imperfections in his face. That may sound weird, but for the assignment it was needed. After the picture I had to pull it up on photoshop and learn how make his skin look flawless, like a celebrity. :) This wasn't the hardest task I've done with photoshop before, it was just time consuming. Lots of steps were involved and I wanted to make sure his skin looked soft, smooth, and as close to perfect as possible. In the end I think it came out really well. John already has that model essence so touching up his face was just the icing on a beautiful photo. :)
