Due to weather and lighting the day of the photo shoot, the background of this image almost completely disappeared. A new background was added and blended with water in the foreground, as well as retouching and color correcting of the model.
This awkwardly cropped photo presented a real challenge. More image was needed at the top to accommodate the masthead, which meant creating more background and the top of the model's head. Sections of hair were borrowed from other images in the series, and highlighted fringes were created to give the effect of backlighting.
This image was cropped too tightly for the intended layout. It was necessary to re-create the side of the book, add a right hand and continue the background seamlessly. The hand was borrowed from the other side, altered and darkened to appear to be in shadow, and then reflected in the glossy cover of the book.
This image required a transformation of the environment from lake to ocean. The trickiest aspect was blending the ocean background with the foreground while preserving the quality of the water spray. Color and brightness were also adjusted to maintain the effect of a sunny day.
The woman pictured was not pleased with her appearance in this image, and wanted certain aspects of her body improved. Changes were mostly made to the neck and jaw area. The contours of her face were narrowed slightly while maintaining the bone structure.
The main challenges were to remove the lock of hair across the model's face and fix the "squinty" eye. Essentially, the entire left side of her face had to be re-created. Wrinkles and blemishes on the body were removed, as well as the logo on the bikini top, and the image was then color corrected.
The goal in this project was not to create a rendition of the completed building and grounds, but show a work in progress without the scaffolding and construction clutter.
The goal was to take a stock photo and integrate the customer's product onto the model. With limited reference photos, we shot our own image for the tights (that's why the shoes are different), tweaked it to fit the model's body and added the stitching manually. Various photos of the shirt were supplied, and we were able to piece together enough elements to conform to the model, angle and lighting.
