Case Studies
From Brief to Delivery
Real projects, real results. Each case study breaks down the challenge, the retouching approach, and the final outcome.
Coca-Cola Solo Bottle, Hero Retouch
Flat product shot against a white wall transformed into a summer-ready hero image. Complete background replacement with a vibrant blue sky, digital carbonation and foam added throughout the bottle, and color grading optimized for the red label. Hand tones warmed to match the outdoor lighting.
Pepsi Desert Composite, Scene Rebuild
Complex object removal and environment rebuild. The person and standing camel were removed, three additional pyramids composited into the background for a balanced Giza skyline. English label swap, condensation and bubbles added to bottles, sky deepened to cyan-blue, and a soft light leak simulating hazy desert sun.
Coca-Cola Pizza Lifestyle, Full Scene Redesign
Complete scene transformation: white cloth background replaced with a warm textured wood table, cardboard pizza box swapped for a round wooden pizza peel. Realistic ice cubes added to both soda glasses for an appetizing cold-drink appearance. Cohesive warm-toned grading throughout.
Munder Soda Orchard, Generative Expansion
Cinematic 16:9 expansion using generative fill to extend the orchard background and checkered tablecloth. Distracting bokeh spots and messy tree branches softened or removed. Apple foliage refined for cleaner presentation, overall color graded to enhance golden-hour warmth.
Roknar Rye Whiskey, Dark Mood Product Shot
Premium whiskey bottle placed on dark volcanic sand with smooth black pebbles. Smoke and mist effects layered around the base for atmosphere. Deep contrast lighting refined to bring out the amber liquid glow while keeping the label crisp. Color grading pushed toward moody blacks with warm golden highlights on the glass edges.
Sanpellegrino Chinotto, Splash Composite
Dynamic splash scene with oranges dropping into crystal-clear water behind the bottle. Multiple splash elements composited and blended for natural flow. Water droplets refined on the bottle surface, glass fill level enhanced, and the orange slices sharpened for maximum freshness appeal. Cool blue background grade to match the brand palette.
Brother Justus Whiskey, Vintage Scene
Atmospheric lifestyle shot set in a rustic wooden cabin. Bottle placed on a weathered wooden table beside a Glencairn glass, old books, and rope. Warm directional lighting enhanced to simulate golden-hour sun streaming through a window. Background textures refined, dust particles added for depth, and the whiskey color graded to a rich amber glow.
Healthy Food Spread, Overhead Retouch
Multi-dish overhead food photography retouched for a clean editorial look. Kale salad, brussels sprouts grain bowl, and Waldorf lettuce wraps on a blue wooden surface. Individual ingredients color corrected for vibrancy, loose crumbs and spills cleaned up, dressing bowls polished, and overall sharpness enhanced while maintaining a natural, appetizing feel.
Tequila Cocktail Setup, Lifestyle Retouch
Bright overhead cocktail scene on a whitewashed wooden tray. Antera tequila bottle, cocktail shaker, filled glasses, fresh lime wedges, and sea salt arranged for an inviting cocktail-making moment. Glass reflections cleaned, lime slices sharpened for juiciness, bottle label enhanced, and overall exposure balanced for a crisp editorial finish.
Pepsi Lifestyle Campaign, Pop Art Composite
Studio group shot with three models integrated into a pop-art style layout. Red and blue offset outlines composited around each figure to create a vibrant graphic effect. Skin retouching kept natural, Pepsi bottle placement refined, clothing wrinkles softened, and the overall palette pushed for punchy contrast while maintaining skin-tone accuracy.
