Do any Retouching/Post Production professionals have a website they go to to collect RAW images/videos to practice with?

Hey all!

I'm looking to create a post production portfolio and grab some high quality fashion images while i cant go out and get them myself. I was wondering if anyone knew of any websites you can grab .raw photos and videos from to practice with?

Any suggestions would be amazing. Thank you :)

    I started with RAW banks, then I emailed photographers asking if they'd like some work retouched for free, that we could both use for our portfolio. Took a bit but it paid off. You can also use Instagram as well as email, I find people respond quicker and its less formal.

    Thanks man, rest of my work is at www.rashpalgurm.com

  • @Rashpal Gurm Yeah thats a great shout! is that what you did to get started? Love you Still Life work :)
  • @Morphe Digital Design Oh yeah Unsplash looks awesome. Thank you very much!
  • Hey Karl,

    Once you've gone through the RAW libraries, I think it's worth just emailing / Instagramming photographers for images too that they don't mind you working on for your portfolio.

    Good luck!

  • Hi!
    I remember when I started, I used this website: https://boutiqueretouching.com/free-raw-files/

    I think they constantly upload new files.
