Background replacementThe light studio backdrop is replaced by a dark cinematic space with depth and open room around the subject.
Horse integrationThe motorcycle gives way to a galloping horse, matched to the pose, the eye line and the direction of travel.
Subject continuityThe subject carries over unchanged — suit, hat, sash and likeness — with the flag placed into the raised hand.
Shadow groundingContact shadow and ground darkening seat the horse and rider in the new scene instead of floating them over it.

Creative edit breakdown

From studio capture to cinematic concept

One real transformation, rebuilt a layer at a time. Scroll to stack the composite: environment, horse, subject, shadow, atmosphere, grade.

Studio capture: the subject in a white suit and cowboy hat, seated on a blue sports motorcycle against a plain light backdrop.

Finished image: the same subject on a galloping white horse, carrying a large American flag, lit against a dark cinematic background with dust at ground level.

What we actually do

Editing shouldn't slow your photography down

Here is what happens to a frame once it reaches us, in the order we do it.

The challenge

Hours lost to culling and retouching after every shoot.
Inconsistent results when work is spread across editors.
No reliable way to scale during busy seasons.

Send the RAWs, keep your look

Send RAW, TIFF, PSD or JPEG files with two or three of your own finished edits. We match that look across the set and return the images graded and consistent.

What happens to each frame

01Read the frameWhat is distracting, what is character, and what the brief says to leave alone.
02Correct the lightExposure, white balance and colour brought to one reference across the whole set.

What we do

Choose the level of edit your images need

Six photo services with fixed per-image prices, from basic retouching to multi-image composites, plus video editing and ad creative quoted per project.

The studio

What the studio does

The disciplines we bring to every project.

Workflow
Specialist post-production workflow
Post-production is the whole job here, not a service bolted onto a shoot. Files arrive, are worked through a defined sequence, and come back in the state they need to be published in.
Retouching
Natural retouching
Skin and detail work that keeps the texture of the original frame. The aim is a photograph that still looks photographed — corrections that are noticed only when they are pointed out.
Beauty
High-end beauty work
Frequency separation, dodge and burn, and the close attention that beauty and cosmetic work needs when the image will be reproduced large.
Compositing
Compositing and creative editing
Combining frames, replacing or extending backgrounds, and building images that were never captured in a single exposure — matched on perspective, lighting and grain so the result reads as one photograph.
