Immediately, my eyes went right to her leg. It looked suspect to me, as if it didn’t belong. Perhaps it may be a visual illusion due to the way the clothing is placed versus how she is leaning. Or maybe, there’s another reason…<br/><br/><a href="https://www.facebook.com/HaiJo/about" target="_blank">Hai Le</a> explains, “I like to imagine that she’s a cyborg robot and he’s the evil scientist that built her and he has to repair her leg. This is the moment right when he’s pulling the leg off.”<br/><br/>There you have it, the hard hitting truth about Donna Karan’s latest campaign. We all know Donna, we all know! <br/><br/>I just had to share Hai’s response to the original post <a href="https://www.facebook.com/SolsticeRetouch/posts/10101091770774786" target="_blank">here</a>, it was too great to pass up. </p> <p><span> </span></p>http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50505630977http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50505630977Wed, 15 May 2013 12:23:44 -0500donna karanmodelrobotlolhilariouslmaofashionphotoshopretouchingadobe<img src="http://24.media.tumblr.com/f6c7e44c534743e15c686bdb340f3ea1/tumblr_ml2a3t4XBN1rsnb0bo1_500.jpg"/><br/><br/><p><strong>Photography And Retouching Workshop: Los Angeles (This Weekend)</strong></p> <p><em>(Click the banner for a closer view)</em><br/><br/>Fashion and beauty photographer, <a href="http://www.cwtalent.com/bill-jones" target="_blank">Bill Jones</a>, is teaming up with me to produce a special workshop that puts in so much information and detail that I am really excited to announce it to you guys.

If you have any questions about the retouching section, you can e-mail me directly at <a href="http://solsticeretouch@gmail.com%20" target="_blank">solsticeretouch@gmail.com</a>.<br/><br/><strong>Day 2: </strong><br/>I also intend to deliver information about working with a photographer (the dynamic), the quality agencies like to see and working with agencies, art directors, and editors directly, the best way to process files for their approval, finding a retoucher as a photographer, the best way to approach a working relationship with a retoucher, and of course the retouching workshop itself full of my techniques and the most efficient workflow to get the best results. <br/><br/>We will be working with the files taken on the first day for the retouching portion. I will also save time to address specific issues you may have, so we’ll make sure you walk away with a wealth of information. </p>http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50476919913http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50476919913Tue, 14 May 2013 23:40:03 -0500retouchingphotographyfashionworkshopWheelchair-bound photographer strives to keep shooting: Suhaib Salem / Reuters http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50444637157http://solsticevisuals.com/post/50444637157Tue, 14 May 2013 16:20:39 -0500photographynewsstoryphotographer<iframe width="400" height="225" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oQLENEE1ZKA?wmode=transparent&autohide=1&egm=0&hd=1&iv_load_policy=3&modestbranding=1&rel=0&showinfo=0&showsearch=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe><br/><br/><p><strong>The Prada Store In The Middle Of Nowhere </strong></p> <p>This is an art installation from Prada, built in Marfa, Texas.
