Pixel Perfect

I was tasked with photo editing for several Brother Mobile Solutions products and accessories. These photos required the most precise of edits, as they would be used across the company.

Problem / solved

1. Shooting in-house product photography 

• For some photos, we were tasked with shooting the photos in-office.
• This involves many skills, such as shooting manual on a DSLR, setting up lighting, working through a punchlist to minimize tripod movement, etc.

2. Speeding my way through my photo editing workflow

• I use Lightroom to sort through and flag all the raw photos, which I then refine using batch editing in Lightroom.
• Every photo ends up in Photoshop, where irregularities are removed and then cut out from their background. Due to shadows, this often requires using the Pen tool to create a pixel-perfect path.

3. Export for the real world and organize the files

• After the edited photos are approved, we then export a number of file types and sizes.
• This requires an in-depth knowledge of batch exporting, renaming, and reorganizing to make a recognizable folder structure that can be immediately understood by the client.
