Quick Photo Composite & On-Site Client Collaboration
Background/Context
Role: Head Digital Artist & Retouching Specialist
Tools Used: Photoshop
Company: Omega Photo
Overview
This project was a quick compositing request for a returning client I work with regularly. The client brought in a photo taken during their travels and wanted a specific edit made to the image while working with me in person. Because we already had an established working relationship, communication was clear and efficient from the start.
Process
In-Person Collaboration and Planning
The client shared the travel photo and explained that they wanted the scarf they were wearing on their head added into the image.
They intentionally wore the same outfit during our meeting, which made it easier to match fabric, lighting, and perspective. While we were together, I took a quick portrait of them so I could accurately composite the scarf into the original image and clarify details immediately if needed.
Compositing and Execution
Results and Reflection
The client was impressed with how quickly the edit was completed and appreciated being able to collaborate in person throughout the process. This project highlights my ability to work efficiently, communicate clearly with repeat clients, and deliver polished results on short turnaround timelines.
It also reinforces the value of trust and preparation when working directly with clients, especially on quick but detail-oriented edits.
