Scope: photography, image editing, retouching and digital compositing.
Challenge: working in a 2 to 3-foot area to shoot in under 2 minutes, no time for lighting adjustments or styling; the furniture and miscellaneous items in the background were unavoidable.
Objective: adjust exposure, take out unwanted/distractions, diffuse the lampshade, but make it look like there was movement on the right side of the head and hair, and soften the shot. The client also wanted some of the lamp base showing to look like a Hawaiian vase in the background.
