Hey /p/
Due to an accident I cannot do my job, but I still have to earn money, so I'm looking for ways to work from home. Thing is I'm pretty good at retouching portraits and I love doing this. Question is: Is there a market for this? Are there professional photographers who don't want to do the retouching and are willing to outsource this?
Keep in mind that I'm from eastern europe, where average pay is 2$/hour. So if I can make any more than that I'm ok with that. So if there's a market for this how do I find clients?
Thank you for your help guys!

Also, your end result is very green, especially, but not exclusively, in her neck.

You're definitely overdoing it, even for some ex-Iron Curtain locale. The edited version looks like the kind of doll you see wearing clothes in a clothing store, but it's got a face and everything.
The nose did not need to be any narrower. The skin didn't need to lose its redness (FYI, red means wet in the panties, hence makeup such as rouge). Same for the hair. The eyes didn't need to be bigger, but you left the red bits in the inside corner of the left eye regardless. The eyebrows (and eyelashes, if not so much so) didn't need to be perfect and uniform, that looks artificial.
Boosting the pupils was a good idea, but not that much. Airbrushing the hands was also a good move, but again, not that much. Fixing the tooth was also a great move, as was removing the blemish under the right nostril.
Should've left more minor imperfections in, is what I'm getting at.

You're not bad actually. You're a bit heavy handed but if you learn to moderate yourself a bit you could make a go of it I think. There is definitely a market, but it's going to be near impossible to break into it working completely from home. Where are you by the way? What is the industry climate there?

all i can look at is that horse shoe under her nose.

This is a classic feckless man wants a great job catch-22...
If you are too dumb/lazy to go and find the answer to that question yourself then you are too dumb/lazy to capitalize on whatever opportunity you may find.

and the obvious stache
The unedited one looks way better, as usual for these "retouching" threads. Why does retouching always mean completely trashing natural skin tones?
