Is Taffarel still OG educator for high end retouch?

I once have assistant and she was super talented retoucher and she use only curves. The results in portraits were amazing. Unfortunately she didn’t find this job profitable enough and now she’s a respected casting director for a major movie/tv studios.

It helped when you kinda recognizable figure when insta came to life. And when a 2-16 million subscribers celeb tag you or follow your insta. It’s strange that people tend to follow every account their celeb is following. What is not helpful is to have a private account and declined all the requests if people have less followers when they are following. My top was 4000 with that strat.

Agreed. And the color grading is just too much with no effort.
