But seriously, Tried something while I was eating lunch.. Sorry its huge =/

C/C Welcome..

 

Sweet edit, took a bit to load so was about to say it looks really dark lol.

 

Ok.. I'm not sure what look you were trying to go for.. but I think you should have maybe smoothed the face a little, becuase using the lighting to make the face look smoother is causing you to look kind of orange especially in the dark spots... not sure if that's what you were going for!? Try using a mask and the blurring filter to help it out

 

Smoothing makes me look like I have makeup and um.. I'm not that kinda guy lol

The reason I'm orange is because of my sweater. The light was literally a foot ahead of me with a big softbox (look in my eyes, you can see it) so it was reflecting off that, atleast that's my excuse. Then again it could be multiple things. I wasn't really aiming at anything in particular, just practicing and that's a photo I had from a little while ago.

 

By all means.. I'm no expert.. But I don't think you look like a girl with makeup! lol

 

The position on the light itself isnt very flattering to the photo, or the catch light in the eyes. And yes, a mild skin retouch is perfectly fine on guys.

 

id love to see your boyfriends expression when he gets on the computer and sees a HUGE fucking picture of a guy on there lolol

 

^For editing a picture?

 

I'm no professional retoucher uper dude, just fiddling with it. I know the lights are nowhere near where they're supposed to be positioned. My boss just got his softbox and I was messing around with it.
