In this video tutorial I show how I get the awesome glow and golden skin. You’ll see how I go from the pale boring look to the interesting color with the glowing golden skin. Have a look below to see a sample of the photo before retouch.

Lightroom is used like raw converter just to set the white balance. No other changes where made in that process. All the color grading and skin retouch are done in Photoshop without using any filters, actions or plugins.

Camera: Canon 5DS R

Light: Studio flash

Software for retouch and color: Photoshop

Length: 53 minutes (all in real time and recorded in one piece)
