The Creative Brief
Every project begins with a meeting with the client to gather a comprehensive creative brief outlining their insights, needs, expectations, and targets. This brief serves as a solid foundation for producing a professional and effective product.
Research & Inspiration
In the second stage, time is dedicated for gathering and organizing information about the client’s industry, competitors, and current trends. This phase is also an opportunity to seek inspiration.
Brainstorming & Development
At this point, ideas are generated based on the compiled information. It is part of the process to come up with not one, but many ideas – regardless of whether or not they’re feasible!
Execution, Refinement & Presentation
This is the exciting part where ideas are refined and selected for execution. Concepts are meticulously prepared and then presented to the client to solicit feedback.
Revisions, Approval & Final Delivery
The final segment of the creative process involves collecting feedback, making final revisions, and fine-tuning the designs to meet the client’s needs and desires. Once the client gives final approval, the project is completed and delivered.
Photo Editing involves making basic, global adjustments to a photo. This includes adjusting lighting and exposure, correcting color temperature, and cropping. Some photographers define it as the process of narrowing down the gallery from a shoot to only the best images.
Photo Retouching involves eliminating imperfections from a photo. It usually includes color and tone correction, cleaning up blemishes, and adjusting brightness, contrast, and saturation. The retouching process can also involve airbrushing, which means removing certain elements from the background or adding elements that were not originally in the photo.
Photo Enhancing refers to improving the overall style and look of the image. For example, changing the color scheme (such as converting to black and white), toning, or vignetting. Enhancing is typically done after all retouching to create a consistent mood or feel across all images in a gallery.
Composite Photography is the use or combination of two or more different images to create a new one. While it may seem simple, creating a new image using the composite method can be time-consuming and requires practice to achieve believable compositions.
