The photographer doesn’t have control over how much post is done UNLESS he does the post himself. I don’t concern myself with what happens to the shot after I submit it. I got paid and that’s all that really matters. Now if it was an editorial that I submitted I would ONLY submit retouched images. In that case I would have 3 shots of each look retouched and submit all those shots. If the magazine didn’t like any of those then tough shit. I don’t submit 300 images and let the magazine decide. lol

I hope this isn’t a double post.

Are you able to control the amount of retouching that is done to an image once you submit it to a client or is it out of your hands?

What I fear is creating a beautiful image and have it retouched to the point of degrading the beauty.

Thanks,
