Photomanipulation
This client didn’t have the budget or the time for a holiday photoshoot, so I was able to use a stock image of a holiday laden table, remove all the food on the dishes, and replace the food with Q39‘s food (from a previous photoshoot).
This process was only possible because the food photography I had to work with was taken from this overhead angle. Lots of cutting, filling, and some duplicating were necessary, as was special attention to the angle of the shadows and the highlights. This process used more than 10 separate images and took over 15 hours to create.
7 stages of photomanipulation shown above.
