Retouching For Guys – Is it Necessary?

No, men do not need photo retouching to look good. Everyone has their own unique features and qualities that make them attractive. However, some people may choose to use retouching to enhance their appearance in photos, just as they might use makeup or styling in real life. Ultimately, it is a personal choice and there is no right or wrong answer. One point we could make is to make sure the guys beard is trimmed properly if they have one. Men’s beards can present a bad image if it looks too scraggly. If you ask us about retouching for men we would tell you that everyone can look better in their photos if they choose to. There’s nothing wrong with a little extra smoothing of the lines around the eyes and mouth area. Some men that come into our studio are always requesting something about themselves to be changed. We can’t change your appearance but we can remove some fine lines on the neck area. This always helps a bit.

Yes, that’s correct. Personal preferences and choices play a big role in whether or not someone wants to use photo retouching. It’s up to each individual to decide what they feel comfortable with. And as mentioned, some may choose to use retouching to enhance their appearance in photos, while others may prefer a more natural look. It’s always good to discuss with the professional headshot photographer and see their portfolio to make an informed decision.
