Photo Illustration & Retouching
What happens when the reality doesn’t fit the objective? Captured photography is often only the beginning of a process to create an image that conveys the right message.
When the required shot does not exist skillful digital artists build the image with authenticity and believability. In order to to do this well, an experienced photographer needs to be involved in order to match optics, lighting, resolution, and shot angles on each asset so that the components come together in agreement and make visual sense to the viewer.
