Retouching adjusts what you didn’t, or couldn’t, do IRL.
I think the more you can make in the camera, the more interesting it is. When something’s not possible or practical, retouching closes the gap.
After we style your hair, clothes, lighting, and expression as you actually are, I clean up the little things out of our control. No one would even notice them in real life, but in a picture the details are frozen and you have time to look.
