This made my day!
Cory Van der Ploeg is a professional retoucher who’s worked with photographers like Platon in New York City. He’s retouched the faces of world leaders, worked with human rights organizations and has images in magazines like Time. Epic.
I submitted two of my all time favorite images to Cory for critique and he included them in his latest YouTube video at the 20 minute 37 second mark.
The images feature Houston ballet dancer Mackenzie Richter with her sister Macy, and songwriter Charles Sapp.
