Focal Press Monthly Photography Contest

MAY THEME: FASHION

Real Retouching

Thanks to everyone who entered and voted in April's Focal Press Monthly Photography Contest! Our April guest judge, Carl Heilman II, is selecting the winners, and they will be notified shortly.

The theme for May's contest is "Fashion" sponsored by Light and Shoot 50 Fashion Photos by Chris Gatcum, and Real Retouching by Carrie Beene. Carrie will be our guest judge this month.

Carrie Beene began retouching professionally in 2000 and moved quickly into high-end ad retouching. In 2005, she formed her own retouching house, Otto Imaging, LLC and now retouches for fashion and beauty advertising through Otto and CarrieNYC (www.carrienyc.com). She teaches in the MPS Digital Photography department at the School of Visual Arts in NYC.
