Photo Retouch Examples
Photo retouching is an essential factor for presentation for clientele, production functionality, product placement, and marketing in a business environment. It strengthens the engagement for the viewer interested in the image for quality purposes.
Figure 1
Here we have a file sent by a client, named Brigette, who needed a quick and efficient headshot for a nursing school program. The requirement from the facility requests neutral colors to be uploaded into a registration profile. Brigette here needed a quick solution that was also professional.

Figure 2
Brigette’s requirements were clear and specific. She requested a color that fit her personality, and a warm neutral color that she could upload successfully. I quickly sourced a background from Unsplash.com (royalty free) to also create a textured background to make her soft features pop. Brigette was pleased with the results for her new school profile!
Merchandise Photo Retouch Examples
Photo retouching is important for any industry, especially to achieve sales and engagement with consumers interested in a specific brand. Time management is also necessary for a productive photoshoot, although last minute product changes can happen and being innovated with assets will help set the stage for creative branding. Follow below as I share insight for my merchandising process.

Model Image One
Here I have selected a young model with a greenish-blue crop. Although lace is a nice touch, let’s match a pattern to the vibe she is portraying for the photographer in the after image.

Here I have selected a model that is soaking the sun rays outside, while a college shirt is a bold statement, let’s emphasis a softer look the model is portraying for the photographer in our after image.

Model Image Two
That’s better! A fierce pattern for the model’s attitude matches the color swatches of the image better, creating a warm inviting product image a consumer can relate to, especially for warmer Southern California days!
Model With A Daisy Image Two
Florals add for a romantic touch! This pattern can emphasize the flirty and softer side the model is portraying, while still keeping the edginess of her pose. Can you smell the flowers in front of the screen?

That’s A Wrap!
Keeping a hip perspective and an open mind when selecting and working with patterns can create an interactive experience for the consumer to dream of wearing!
