The thing is Attila, you aren't the one paying and the ones paying desire to look like how they FEEL. You can do a lot with lighting, and my portraits are all about relationships. Doesn't mean that it is necessary to leave in wrinkles and imperfections. I have done this enough to know that women will choose the one that has been more heavily "made up" than the ones that are more true.

Even my friend who went off about how wrong it was, then she saw an edited photo of her and that was the one she wanted.

It isn't photojournalism. It isn't nature photography. Its the same thing(but better) that portrait photographers used to do with vaseline on a filter.

You are man. You obviously do not think like a woman. I am a 40 year old woman and I can tell you, I do not feel like what my photos show. I would not put an unedited photo of me up, and I wouldn't do it to a client
