Watchers

Welcome to my dA profile,

my name is Jakub Kusmierz, 26 years old and born in Poland.
I'm a professional retoucher with 5 years experience based in Germany/Stuttgart
specializing in fashion,beauty,editorial and commercial retouching.

My website is currently under construction but you can also find me on
Twitter
ModelMayhem
fotocommunity

Ok this is crazy...Just 1 DD and so much feedback! I'm sorry i can't thank everyone for the favorites and watches one by one, it would simply take too much
of my time which is already very limited and i'm overwhelmed by all the messages from today!
Anyways! Thanks a lot for favoring my images and watching my profile!
I really appreciate the support and it gives me a big smile knowing that people like what i do. Its like the best feedback you can get for your work.

But don't forget that i'm only doing the post production and there are other people spending a lot of time to make those images happen so i can
finalize them in the end. They deserve the compliments more than i do for their hard work!
What would i be without fantastic photographers,models and muas.
OK probably i would be a photographer myself haha but i'm not that talented in photography :P
I really appreciate what they do!

Tak fotografuję :) Ale nie mam z tym związanych jakiś planów zawodowych... Zajmuję się fotografią z miłości i pasji. Po prostu robię to co lubię i staram się fotografować tak aby oddać uczucia jakie miotały mną w danym momencie. Doświadczenie niewielkie, ale praktyka czyni mistrza, podobno :D życzę udanych projektów :) Pozdrawiam !

Love your work, it's amazing. But may I ask you how you've become a professional retoucher? It seems like such a great job to me but I'm not sure wich school I should attend! But you're from Germany and I'm from Holland so there must be something similar to find. Again, great work!

Love, Nicky

Thank you Nicky :)

To be honest i did not attend any school cause there is no school teaching retouching in particular. As far as i know the closest thing to becoming a retoucher would be to go to an agency and start working for them to learn it from the beginning. Other than that you could also attend photoshop courses from beginniner level etc. I started by retouching my own images through youtube tutorials but it looked really unprofessional. Than i had a girl which i would shoot with a lot and retouch her images (At that time i was learning retouching from Calvin Hollywoods DVDs). He had some nice starting tipps but if you want to retouch really professionally i'd suggest Gry Garness/Natalia Taffarel/Krunoslav Stifters DVDs which are very very professional and teach you basically everything you need to know. Other than that you can read a lot through the Modelmayhem.com digitigal retouching forums or on retouchpro.com forums to learn new stuff. But that isnt enough...you need to practice a LOT!
You can get very good quality images in the modelmayhem forum and you could also contact Natalia Taffarel and Krunoslav on MM too. They basically help with all the questions they are great people even though Krunoslav will most likely quit retouching now.

Hope i helped you a bit :) If you need further help or have more questions just ask i'll try to answer as fast as possible

cheers
