How Photos Are Digitally Enhanced

Some images are planned in advance to be combined from several photos. I combine my skills as a photographer and Photoshop expert to create many of my images. All retouching and compositing is done personally by me. I understand what needs to be done and I'll take care of everything.

TWO EXAMPLES

Flashlight Ad

Photos that were combined: Top

Four shots were composited: the flashlight by itself to light the product to best advantage; the model holding the flashlight in the same position; a shot for the forward beam and the last for the rear lights. They were then composited in Photoshop, including moving the switch down ever so slightly so it was visible below the fireman's glove. Then additional work was done to fade the image into darkness to allow for white text, subdue the red in the bottom of the fireman's coat, stretch the coat under the light, and enhance product details.

This image was created by compositing several images in Photoshop taken over a period of
a few hours. Then additional retouching was done to remove the car, put in additional flowers, enhance the sky, pump the color, subdue the computer screen, clean the curb, etc.

You can see from the above examples the great advantage of having a photographer who is also a Photoshop Expert / Artist.
