Hey guys!

I am trying to score a decent summer job at any one of the photography studios in town here, doing photo retouching and airbrushing (which is one of my specialties) Unfortunately I am completely self-taught and don't have any real 'credentials', so the only way I will achieve this goal is to get a portfolio of my work together to prove that I can do the work and do it well.

I need photos to airbrush and retouch, specifically I would like high-quality photos of people that have some slight face blemishes (scars, wrinkles, wounds, acne, et cetera) to airbrush out. For instance you can take a photo of yourself and e-mail it to me (perform_shift@hotmail.com) and I will perform a professional-quality blemish removal guaranteed to take off ten years!!!

The photos either need to be of pretty high resolution or a big size so that I can print them out on at least a 4 x 6 inch piece of photo paper and have it look decent and non-pixellated. A good guideline is that if you have to scroll down or left to see all of it, it'* probably a good size for me.

Other things that will work well are scans of damaged photos (such as those with stains or scratches), photos of pets, photos of slight scratches or damage on a car or house paint, stains on carpeting/clothing, or other blemishes or damages that need to be taken out to make the photo look better.

If you post the links to any of your own photos or e-mail me any that you have, I will love you forever because I REALLY need some! This is mutually beneficial because I will send you the retouched/airbrushed file (if you like) and you will have a retouched and corrected version of the original file.

Please either post photos as links or e-mail me and send the photo (as a .jpg) as an attachment. THANK YOU!

What about freckles?

Do I apply for this? I have already been painted

Freckles are not usually considered 'blemishes' but in this case they will work.

And Jim, of course you may apply The more the merrier!

I've always wanted to know how I'd look with a moustache and maybe without the pimple above my eye.
