Incredible work, she should run with this.

I just ... don't know what to say!

 

[kossi008]

Ouch! Does this count as inflicting bodily harm?

 

[Richard G]

Difficult to believe. The authentic part is struggling with shadows on the face in bright sun. I don’t think her professor covered flash in his teaching either. Maybe she was sick that day.

 

[lynnb]

Special job for clients who are concerned about privacy and face recognition software?

 

[narsuitus]

Perfect for witness protection families.

 

[fireblade]

Well....she didn't destroy the dogs faces.

 

[Out to Lunch]

Wow.

Funnier than the "excellent" retouching is that the family, apparently, paid for this.

Looks pretty good to me! The family must live in this town-

Anime? Lego characters? Us old farts are going to have to used to it- more and more people are growing up surrounded by new styles of representation that will lead to new attempts to respond to the world around them. Many failed attempts included, like this one I would say, but at least they tried.

Or she is training for a career in painting restoration:

Call it the "Pink Floyd Art Filter":

I wonder if this was a Photoshop attempt at a masking layer to lighten the face shadows that somehow went terribly wrong when flattening the layers for printing?

Brings a whole new meaning to “masking!”

My son (who shoots beautiful portraits) showed me this, I told him "don't fall for it, it has to be a joke".

Reading down-page someone posted a tutorial on how to replicate this work, will it be the "next thing"?

 

[Huss]

The photog needs to own this technique and run with it. I'm serious.

 

[Robert Lai]

Hilarious!
Fill flash was invented to prevent things like this.

 

[MCTuomey]

Where can I get the preset?

 

[konicaman]

Yep - that is what happens if you use PortraitPro....

 

[leica M2 fan]

Can not believe what I just saw! Would not ever take portraits
like this. It must be a joke.

 

[Dan]

It's a complete joke because the family ACTUALLY looks like this and is blaming the photographer for their bad genes.

Yes I heard they got a group discount on face lifts from a very bad plastic surgeon. :^)
