I posted on facebook asking what my next tutorial should be and I got an overwhelming response to cover newborns, topics I was asked to cover were how to get rid of baby acne and how neutralize yellow or red skin tones… which brings me to the reason my tutorial is late. I don’t have many issues with acne or skin tones I was having a lot of trouble finding a photograph to use for the tutorial and this got me thinking, “why don’t I have these issues?”

 #1 Exposure is VERY important. If you are not exposing correctly the skin imperfections/tone will be magnified.

 #2 I typically shoot within the first 5 days and babies start to get acne around day 10.

This little guy is a good friends baby, who is 10 days old. Which provided the perfect picture for the tutorial. I know most of you were hoping for some big secret but there isn’t one. The key is exposure and getting in there early if you do those two things then you should not have any issues but if you do here are a couple of things you can do to fix it. If you are a seasoned professional this video probably isn’t for you but feel free to take a peek just to hear how silly I sound!  You have no idea how much I dislike hearing myself on video!

If you have comments or questions feel free to leave them in the comment box. I appreciate it and hope this is helpful for all of you that are just starting out.

I didn’t know exactly where to start so I made a quick 12min video showing you how I would liquify a photo. Obviously this is an extreme case. I don’t liquify my clients to this extent but it’s a tutorial and I thought it would be fun to take it a little further than I normally would. 

There are lots of fun ways to use the liquify tool. You can use it for making people skinnier, you can use it to enhance eyes, and you can also use it to help someone smile.  

In the video I mention that I have a tablet and the tablet I have is the Wacom Intous 3  and I believe it is 6×9 I don’t think I could live or liquify without this tablet. I heart it big time!  

Have questions? Leave them in the comment box and I will answer you as best as I can and I swear my voice isn’t as nasally as this in real life. HA! I couldn’t even listen to my own voice without being completely embarrassed.
