Before and after retouching

Mon, 17 Mar 2025 02:55:15 GMT

For this person's photo, they requested that I straighten out their crooked smile and fix the shirt collar. I also smoothed the skin.

Again, not usually a baby photographer but pretty happy with this session

This Real Estate Title agent loved her face in one of the photos but she needed three different outfits. Can you tell which one is the original?

This building in Portland required a wide angle lens to get the whole thing in so perspective correction was necessary. Also smoothed out the power lines that were easy to remove and added a blue sky.

Jewelry photography - heavy lifting

Thu, 28 Mar 2024 03:25:29 GMT

Jewelry photography is one of the hardest things a photographer can be called upon to do. Of course a macro lens is required, I use the Canon 100mm f/2.8 macro. But lighting is where the real challenge comes in. Shiny metal reflects everything and the gems need to sparkle. I spend at least an hour creating the setup I use and it has worked well for many years.

Here are a few recent images for Judith Arnell Jewelers.

Photo compositing to add and remove team members from group photo

Tue, 28 Nov 2023 18:45:15 GMT

With the photos taken individually then composited, it's easy to add and remove members as the team evolves over time. Just added Samantha on the right and changed her pink shirt to dark gray. Thank you Sean Kerr and the property management team at Kerr Property Management.
