LTR!005 Kai Gut – AURORA RETOUCH
The New Format of Let’s Talk Retouching!
I want to introduce a new format to this show. To begin with this episode, Kai, please give us a very quick overview of who you are, what you do and then we will dive deeper into all the good and interesting things later on.
Who Is Kai and What Makes Him A High-End Retoucher?
Our Guest Kai Gut Wants To Say Hello!Kai Gut
My name is Kai Gut, I'm a retoucher for beauty based in the very south of Germany.
I used to work as a photographer. By editing my own images I was dragged more and more into the world of retouching and ultimately shifted my focus to just retouching.
As every image is different and has its very own requirements, my job is not only to make skin pretty but being able to decide what treatment each specific image and series needs.
To get the perfect result, good communication is key. Therefore I'm always looking to keep clients up to date on the project and discuss/consult the images.
Kai got into retouching quite some time ago. His ambitions came after realizing he was not doing much with his life. He wanted to change but did not yet know what this thing might be. Starting with videography and YouTube he got involved in the creative field. Later got interested in photography too yet realized his photography was not on the level he wanted it to be. However, his love for Photoshop was fueled and he was getting much better at it than with photography.
From there on Kai focused on mainly retouching and was getting better and better. Focussing on only retouching and putting all his efforts into becoming better in the craft allowed him to take on clients and retouch for photographers and magazines.
Main Focus Of Retouching
Kai mainly enjoys detailed work. Therefore his focus has become people. Mainly working on beauty images and fashion. He prefers close up skin work over anything else.
As a man, it might rare to be into makeup but Kai loves it and he is super interested in the application in makeup and the current trends. This surely helps him in retouching images in the field of beauty.
