You
can rely on my years of professional photographic experience to get the
job done for you on-time, within budget with guaranteed results.
Let
me explain how it works.
Step
1 Quality Digital Photography
Shooting
your product digitally will save you time and money but it has to be done
right or you will compromise your image quality. Most digital cameras
compress the image. This causes the image to lose quality. When I photograph
your product, I use no image compression. The full quality of the image
isn't compromised. At the end of the job, I can provide an optimized,
correctly sized image for your website that will give you the quality
you need while still minimizing download time.
In
addition, lighting is important. I've been using studio lighting equipment
for twenty years and will use the right lighting for your product.
While
the Quick and Clean service is meant primarily for web use, the quality
of these images allows you to repurpose them nicely as print images up
to 8"x10".
Strictly
speaking, digital photography is a compromise. The best part about it
is what you don't do. You don't have to buy film. You don't have to spend
time and money getting it processed and printed BEFORE you even see if
you have what you need. Then, you avoid the need to scan your film to
bring your images into the digital realm. You save a lot of time and money
and still retain high-quality imagery.
If
strictly digital photography doesn't meet your needs, I can also photograph
your product using traditional means. It will cost more and take longer,
but sometimes the quality you require merits it. I also have 35mm, medium
format, and 4x5 equipment for such instances.
Step
2 Quality image retouching
In
this step, I bring your image into the industry standard compositing software
Adobe Photoshop. You image is cleaned up, color corrected and cut out
of its background. Once the background is removed, your product image
can be dropped into any background you choose with the appropriate drop
shadow. I have almost ten years experience with Photoshop and other high
end software. What this means is speed and accuracy. Bad compositing by
amateurs is becoming the norm today, but I won't stand for it. Neither
should you.
Step
3 Custom Backgrounds
I
have a library of custom backgrounds I have created for use on previous
jobs. I can drop your image seamlessly into any of them if you'd like.
I can also use any background you provide. I can also create a new background
for each image based upon the colors used in the product. I use similar
or complementary colors for an image that "Works".
Step
4 Delivery on CD-ROM
Once
your job is completed, I provide you with layered Photoshop files of your
images. What this means is that at any time in the future, you can easily
and quickly change the background of your image to anything else. It also
allows you to combine several products together seamlessly in a new image.
The choice is yours and the bottom line is maximum value and flexibility.
