Presenting to ASMP (March 24th) - I need your help Houston!

[xbadkarmax]

Hello,

I am a retoucher specializing in editorial and commercial work:
Solstice Retouch - High End Retouching

American Society of Media Photographers recently approached me to see if I would be interested in doing a seminar/lecture and retouch live. I said sure, I would love to help! I will be presenting on the 24th of March.

(details: March - Retouching w/ Solstice Retouch | ASMP Houston)

This is my chance to give back to the local community of Houston.

What I need your help with:


Although I am a fahsion and beauty retoucher primarily, I recognize that the community attending are working professionals in Houston who shoot everything from Architecture, Wedding, Executive Headshots, Automotive, Photojournalism, Newspaper work, and so many more categories.

I wanted the first part of my seminar (one hour block) to reflect this. Would anyone be interested in donating some images for me to use during the seminar? I am looking for any image that has presented a problem to you in the past in photoshop, even if it is as little as "how do I remove this object" or "how can I remove a flare in glasses" or "How do I fix this banding issue" or "How can I do this more effectively" or "This image would be a great tutorial for masking". I hope you see where I am getting at. Basically, anything that has to do with the use of photoshop! I want a broad array of images from different aspects of photography to keep the attendees interested.

If you would be interested in helping, you may upload images to my dropbox:
https://dropbox.yousendit.com/Solstice

Please fill out your e-mail with the subject titled as "Texas Photo Forum for ASMP". In the subject, indicate what area you would like to see fixed.

If it is something I get a chance to include in my presentation, I will retouch the image for free. Credit will always be given, and the image will only stay with me.

Thank you for your time, I hope you can help me give back to the community here in Houston!

Please let me know if you have any questions.
