profile/ photo retouching

level200

Hi guys

I have been teaching digital manipulation for years and need some extra cash now.

I am thinking about offering a social media/ dating site profile photo retouching (in effect looking 10 years younger and removing eye bags and wrinkles)

Would you use such a service and how much would you pay (i'm thinking of just £10per photo)

Cheers
John

So you think it's a good idea to help people put misleading images of themselves on dating websites.

Not quite misleading, tidied up a little

Hair dye, Make up, pushup bra, trim pants, high heals and fake tan arnt misleading at all are they

You could try advertising a gig for it on fiverr , you would only get $5 (minus commission) , but this would provide answers to things like

Is there a call for it?
Are peoples profile photos which often come from mobile phones, of a high enough quality to be able to do much with?
How long it would take to edit an image to a standard thats saleable (in their eyes)

There is a difference between these and retouched photos. Removing wrinkles is hardly "tidying up a little", it's deception.

What would you put up? A dating site is about putting yourself over in the best light, most need any advantage they can get. Once they get that first date then its upto them.

Send me a photo of you to show what i can do

In your original post you claim "I am thinking about offering a social media/ dating site profile photo retouching (in effect looking 10 years younger and removing eye bags and wrinkles)". I don't think you've achieved that here

But I have helped remove blemishes, spots and make a nicer photo without misleading

Btw this photo is one of many, most do actually help some look younger
