This corporate portrait was taken by Liam H. of the United Kingdom and was part of an interesting discussion on HDR (high dynamic range) portrait photography. I did this retouch as an example of what was possible just in retouching to expand the dynamic range using the shadow/highlight tool, light painting and the use of the levels tool.

This image is by Norman Wilson of Norman J. Wilson Photography in British Columbia. Once again the shadow/highlight tool heleped to expand the detailes in the black regions of the image and re-capture some of the details lost in the lighter areas. It really gave the silk shirt alot of shine and texture. I also utilized my 50% gray layer light painting method to further give the shots a real painterly feel.
