Those boobs are even in the same perspective.
And is this sexist? "The real way to get noticed is to display giant hooters"
*aren't*
Monobreast boob jobs are all the rage—just ask the model in the SI photograph.
“Glenn C. Ferron – The Art of Post-Ironic Retouching.”
My girl friend can do that!
kidding me?
And she lost some scapula and ribs in that exotic process :D
But why is her necklace glowing purple??
Thanks for the link to the site, I have saved it to share with my teenage Girl Scouts as an example of why they'll never look like the girls in magazines!
I like this one. http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio61.html
@Jens - that one's so good it's almost a Picasso.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio11.html
that one's really out of control.
The whole website is HILARIOUS! Must see! And the pricing info!!!
she looks like a bad-ass rock star in the unedited.
the retouching, and the boobs....ohhh those boobs, detract from the original bad-assery of the picture...
http://confessions-of-a-waitress.blogspot.com/
His overall technique isn't THAT bad... but these are all disasters for a completely different reason. : )
So may wrongs at that site...
Those Victoria Ekong ones are brilliant. She looks like Alf in portfolio61!
Ow ow ow ow ow my chest is hurting just looking at that.
By mousing back and forth over this one you can make the model do the bootyslap. http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio14.html
WAAAHHH!!! The dude's site is really entertaining - look at that one:
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio32.html
Wasn't that on PsD already? I think it's my personal favorite.
Body by Pablo.
Well, to be fair, it could have totally been the client's idea.
BTW, Has this one been on the site?
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio32.html
because it totally should...
@jimkeller24 beat me to it
Oh yeah. As seems from her portfolio - Imagenomic Portraiture grandmaster
Does the guy even know that boobs do not look the same on every woman in the world? Does he know that wrinkles are pretty common in over 30-year-olds?
wv: polist - Call 911, get the polist!
It looks like this dude's (with no other evidence whatsoever, you can tell it's a male) specialty is converting badly lit pics into paintings. Character-free paintings.
With boob mods if possible. HOWEVER, it's a whole boatload of fun, innit?
And http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio17.html is a mistake. Period.
Personally, I don't think this is a disaster at all. Pretty good retouching/comping technique. Of course, I was bottle fed, so you can't trust my opinion when it comes to boobs.
This one should be on the blog too. NECKS DON'T DO THAT.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio70.html
Oy! :S
holy god, that whole site is full of howlers. I love how they take pictures of pretty people and tart them up by making the people's (pretty) figures look cartoony and unrealistic.
I gotta say though, I bet the clients were happy.
Wow.... You know,if the person is so proud of their "retouching" ability, they REALLY should have changed the shirt's cuffs to something a bit more fancy to match the neck line AND do something about the way the sleeves themselves look. You can totally tell she is wearing a sweatshirt.
I dunno, this isn't THAT bad... I would hardly call it a disaster.
holy f... 140$ per hour!!!!
@Sorcha
that was a perfectly nice-looking girl in a perfectly nice-looking photo, and then Glenn Feron came along and Steven Seagalled her elbow! owwww.
jimkeller24
In the origiinal she looks like an old lady with a funny hat and an old lady make-up job.
In the retouched masterpiece she looks like a space alien from a 1950s movie.
I guess the idea is that for $140 per hour the guy is going to do a lot of changes so the client gets her money's worth even if the result is hideous.
wv: comoops--sounds like it could apply to every before and after image he has
Wow, this is impressive.
The "art director" would've saved valuable (or in this case not so valuable) "retouching" time if he/she (actually, let's face it - it was a man) pasted a print out of a bossom on the model and shot it. Talk about flat chested.
That website is awesomely hilarious. I can't believe people make a living off of auto-adjusting colors & contrast and clone stamping. New career, here I come!
Oh God, what did he do to Conan?
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio05.html
Gosh, what a shame!
... and after doing all that to her face, the guy leaves her right hand alone! -_-
(Maybe he thought he hadn't left enough hints about how over-PS'd his work is, LOL.)
Oh my god. I could pass my cursor over Victoria Ekong all day. (Does that make me a lesbian?)
(You have to visit the Glenn Feron site linked ["original is here"] to understand what I'm blathering about.)
"...any resale, distribution, public display or duplication is a violation of all applicable laws and is subject to prosecution."
UH OH... You've done it now!
Oh, c'mon... PLEASE change those horrible sleeves! This way, you can totally tell it's photoshoped!
oi vey.
this one disturbs me: http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio24.html
I'm not sure if it counts as a disaster, but I'm just disturbed.
ov: orlogent. gent (c)orlo(r)-ing? (sleepy brain make weird connections)
okay actually this one is funnier...it makes boobs not look like boob but like a weird line hanging down in the middle of her chest.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio64.html
wv imetu as in I met you while laughing at photoshop wreckages

http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio37.html
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio32.html this one is even better, what with the disapearing hand and all...
I've always wanted a low-cut sweatshirt... that caused my fake chest to shift to the side... Oh, and I really want that sweatshirt to make me look like I have scoliosis too. Additionally, I need my neck as smooth as a Barbie doll’s since we’re going with the plastic look today!
Hey. At least he left the quitar alone.
so she looks kinda 'rock' . . . ok, slightly mechanic auto . . now if you were this woman (unless she requested it) isn't it strange -that is to say, can a woman with a guitar not be of interest unless she has her tits out? nice. or sad depending on your point of view...
p.s check out some killer photoshop work @ http://www.impawards.com/ - all the latest worldwide movie/tv posters updated daily. enjoy!
Amazing work!!
you tell a true genius has created this piece of work, as the boobs follow you roudn the room
According to this artist, only women or old men need retouching.
Has anyone even noticed how scary her eye is? She looks like some Lord of the Rings/Sailor Moon hybrid monster.
Risking to fall in the meme, my local photo store can do that.
No, I correct, they can do better retouching than Glenn Interferon. Really.
Someone please tell him/her that, although similar in general shape, boobs ARE NOT buttocks. His/her slogan should be "Glenn Feron puts your ass in your chest (and makes you a creepy wax figure for the same price)"
And now excuse me, I am going to sandblast my eyes.
First of all, his retouching technique is not that good. Anybody with medium photoshop skills and a good idea of human anatomy can do way better and definitely more realistic retouching.
Because that's what most of Mr Feron's work is lacking. A sense of reality.
I mean, just look at the Conan picture that @Zack DeZon posted. Conan looks like a 20-year-old who stole his sister's lipgloss, for Christ's sake.
wv: dishidi - read: This shitty.
this one makes me laugh:
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio22.html
he tried so hard to get her reflection right, but she still looks like she's floating!
See now, that's what photoshopping is SUPPOSED to do with breasts. Not like the one a couple days ago that had it backweards.
I like what he did here. wait no i don't. another photoshop fail on the hat. Way to go photoshop master.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio32.html
@sorcha: SCORE! i could do that all day and play music to it...
wv: trabill - as in glen ferron means trabill.
http://glennferon.com/about.html
"Glenn was born, then found art and was born again. Back then with illustration & retouching, he used one of those old fashioned airbrush painting thingies to work his craft, but soon found the new fangled computers, Mac's his choice, & photoshop expanded his artistic world. Glenn dove in head first to catch up and is now a master at this relatively new version of an age old profession he honed before PC's were on our desktops. Glenn has worked for some of the pickiest clients in the world. His skill, artistry and knowledge of anatomy bring them back again and again."
Um.....wow. *head desk*
This all seems like very sloppy photography to me. Were the original shots truly that bad? Have the photographers not heard of lighting? Bad, just really bad.
Where can I get a sweater wih cleavage printed on it like that?
I hope this musician saw the unholy retouching, tracked down any AD who approved this to be seen by anyone ever, and kicked his ass.
this guys site was making me LOL all over until i read the "about" part and the dedication to his wife that passed away. what a buzzkill :(
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio63.html
Best BAR NONE!
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio62.html is just unverschamt. she's an aspiring model and even before the job she's hiding about 10cm of waistline. that way everone can be a model.
she's drinking pee in this one!
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio03.html
I just checked out my photoshopper and no-where does it have the "fake boob" tool that he uses on every woman.
Why can't people just look like real people? Saggy, uneven boobs and skin-tone and all?
If I had a girlfriend, I wouldn't want her to do that.
Oh, jeez. It's like she's wearing a picture of cleavage on her chest. Honestly, he could have saved some effort by taping a printout of boobs to her sweater.
That's the other thing. It's a freakin' sweater! Come on, guy!
He seriously needs to spend some time studying anatomy. Removing half of someone's chest to give them boobs? Losing hands? This guy should be arrested for mutilating all those women.
As for the aspiring model in #62 and 63...what's the point of those photos? It isn't as if the people interviewing her won't see the difference between her and the photos.
wv:bilenon trying desperately not to throw up over this guy's site
This one is not excessively bad, but I had the most fun with it:
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio14.html
OK, so we have a HACK that makes $140 and up per hour being mocked by snarky artists who make $20. Who should be laughing here? Maybe he DOES know how to retouch using a real physical brush and DOESN'T know how to write an un-smarmy sentence, but who's the daddy here?
Can we post his/her entire site here? Man I think this "artist" is the disaster, not photoshop
@waldobaby Just remember, the snarky $20 per hour graphic artists here are actually working. I have yet to see ANY picture of this guy that would actually get into the wild and / or be used in any setting.
@Brooke: same thing happened to me...
That's just so sad...
You're all envious!
His superior skills mortify all of you! (only by looking at the images)
No one can touch his abilities!! (and no one want to do that)
Some times he overdid it, but hey he's an artist!!!
(He shows: Everyone can be an Artist)
So stop sneering and begin to laugh!
waldobaby:
Yeah, but not all of can live on $140 a year like Glenn Feron.
Lisa--
How on earth did you know that was Victoria Ekong? It was easy once you provided the name but impossible otherwise.
Dayum. My favorite is this one:
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio61.html
Imagine hiring #1 and #2 showing up!
As others have said, it's pretty obvious that she's wearing a sweatshirt. Nothin' says fancy like a plunging neckline on a sweatshirt.
for more video: http://videomahzeni.blogspot.com
oh god - I coughed up a little bit of sick - all that effort of pasting a nice set of tits on her, and - ack - I'm nauseous even typing this...
...her guitar... is a fucking telecaster - gag - henk.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio57.html
model on the bottom right has a lazy eye...
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio62.html wtf. This chick is ultra curvey sexy in the original and so he removes the ass but not the shoulders or arms? She looks like a top heavy linebacker in the after photo. Why do people want this -done- to them?
Some of the other ones are quite decent but this guy seems to go over the top on others.
As to whoever said that they can't see these shots in the "wild" I'm assuming they aren't meant for national geographic ;) There's a LOT of demand for retouching work out there.
Glenn does have some good stuff on his website. The still life #42 is much improved from the starting image shown, and in #15 he does succeed in revese-aging the model, albeit at the cost of making her look like a different person.
But the Victoria Ekong series is truly horrendous. Vicky loses her eye color (brown to green), curvaceous hips, and even race (black to ... not sure).
And then there is the bizarre stuff. In the first image (#60), her lips are abruptly cut off on the right side of her face, and part of her dress is lopped off to show more breast with no thought to creating a new edge - or to how such a dress would be worn. Then, in the second shot, most of her chest is lopped off, and replaced with an enourmous, blurry, pixelated rose. The third looks OK until you wonder how she manages to stand on those hips without toppling over due to the weight of her breasts. (The breasts are of course not the problem here.) And in the last shot, Vicky is besieged by two-dimensional waves and a white cloud of ... wait, what is that? Sea spray? A tornado? Perhaps some Microsoft Paint "airbrush" tool?
Vicky must be insecure to want such drastic changes made to her photos. Well, yes: "Victoria has struggled with her weight since she was a child and her diet of high-fat sugary snacks and junk food doesn’t help. Her mother constantly tells her she is fat and needs to lose weight. Victoria is so paranoid about her nose that she wears very vibrant eye make up and long fake lashes to draw attention away from it. She works in telesales but wants to start selling in the field to increase her earnings, but her lack of confidence in how she looks is holding her back."
nice face after retouching :)

People willing to spend 280$ to improve a picture should hire a better photograph (i.e. with lighting skills) instead of him...
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio63.html
Holy crap! Her boobs must be 3 feet long!
No I'm sorry.. the old man on his page is thee best. I think he got new eyes. Even the elderly aren't safe.
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio40.html
More of his work and others can be seen here:
http://detouch.org/
how confused would a client be when presented with the "aspiring model"'s images? "so i see you.... had your eyes done... and your chest.... inflated"
Anybody seen the "Work" part?
I don't know how big are these clients (I'm from Argentina) but for what I see I guess Glenn works for minor magazines and some "Tequila King" that doesn't even appear in Google.
So, yeah, $140 per hour but I guess Glenn makes only $560 per month.
But I must be wrong. Or envious.
he really hooked her up on this one. thats insane, lol.
Oh my god, this guy gets business? His work is TERRIBLE! They all look like they are made out of wax! His portfolio is atrocious, these people look FINE. How this guy got a job is beyond me, he should stick with editing pictures of food and bottles, people most definitely are NOT his forte.
the sad thing here is that some of his work is actually really good, but some of it is just HORRIBLE. it's either really good or REALLY bad! did anyone see the hype hair spring style issue with janet jackson? is he responsible for that monstrosity?!
Best part of the site: http://glennferon.com/about.html
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio62.html
Holy cow. Those are gonna be some incensed potential employers. She's still cute before, but she is SO not what they're paying for from the glamour shot!
Wouldn't it be cheaper than $140 to just slather people with pancake makeup?
Has no person in his photos ever heard of cosmetics? MUST they rely on his "skills" for their eyeshadow?
Agreed, his whole site is a PsD. I could spend all day on it.
wv: frilbs
"The re-toucher noted that the woman was lacking in the chestal region, and gave her a fancy new set of frilbs."
Some of you people making the most caustic remarks about this guy's work...I really wonder what some of *your* work looks like. Is this guy perfect? No...but he's out there doing it...he's working at it...and some of his work is not bad at all.
How good is *your* work compared to his?
My guess is that in many cases most of you can't match it.
I really don't understand the "diamond choker = rock star" connection. What's the implication? That she must be good if she's already rich? Paris Hilton is rich, and look at what a guarantee of talent *that* is.
I'm also confused about this man's vendetta against stomach muscles. In every pic of them I saw on his site, they're airbrushed out.
That Glenn has some interesting projects! Have a look at this one: Glenn Feron Retouching ... move your mouse over and away on the image fast a few times and it looks like the model is slapping herself! :)
Wow those are really awful. Most of the women on those pictures are really lovely... until Glenn gets ahold of them. I actually think the vast majority of his "before" pictures look ten times better than the cartoony, unrealistic "after" pictures. Hey, there's an idea, he could start a service "What would you look like as a wax figure?"
Men retouched by Feron pretty much stay the same - just a little bit tuning.
but women.. he always turns them into "i'm gonna beat your ass up"-ladies like they appear in late 90ies comics.
his technique is really good, he definitely has some skills. but he's overdoing it aaall the time.
What the hell is going on with the main event's chest in the supposed original???
http://glennferon.com/portfolio1/portfolio57.html
The thing that most bugs me is that he removes all the shadows and textures from everyone. I know some of it's just removing wrinkles, but sometimes it's just stupid and makes everything a formless waxy blob.
