Here is a curated assortment of food projects that needed some retouching. I apologize in advance, if these cause undue cravings. Some ask, “Why does food need so much retouching?!” Which I typically respond with, “Why do people complain when food looks unappetizing and often choose more from a menu with pictures?” PLEASE Note and […]
