Case 01 · Ghost Mannequin

Ghost Mannequin — Blazer

Apparel photographed on a mannequin or model form often arrives with visible dust, scratches and creases. The form is removed digitally and the garment’s neckline, lining and inner details are rebuilt from additional views, so the piece holds its natural shape — as if worn by an invisible mannequin — on a clean, consistent background.

Case 02 · Jewelry Retouching

Jewelry Retouching — Ring

Jewelry is photographed under intense light, which reveals every speck of dust and dulls the metal. In post-production the piece is cleaned at pixel level, the metal is polished, the stones are given back their fire, and reflections are controlled so the product reads clearly at any size.

Case 03 · Product Retouching · Footwear

Product Retouching — Sneakers

Footwear samples pick up scuffs, glue marks and creases during the shoot. Retouching cleans the materials, restores the intended shape, corrects color to the real product and places the pair on a consistent background, ready for the product page.

Case 04 · Fashion & Apparel Retouching

Apparel Retouching — Jacket

Garments are steamed and styled on set, but wrinkles, loose threads and dust still reach the camera. Apparel retouching smooths the fabric while keeping its real texture, removes the distractions and matches color across the whole set, so every size and colorway looks consistent in the catalog.

Case 05 · Beauty Retouching

Beauty Retouching — Portrait

Beauty images need restraint: skin is evened out while pores and natural texture stay intact, temporary blemishes and stray hairs are removed, and light and tone are balanced for a clean, editorial finish that still looks like the person.

Case 06 · E-commerce Product Retouching

Product Retouching — Handbag

Bags and accessories are judged on detail: leather grain, stitching and hardware. Retouching cleans the material, controls shine on metal fittings, corrects the shape and presents the piece on a clean background with a soft, natural shadow.
