Creating Cosmetic 3D Hero Visuals: Hanalys

It's not uncommon to see a brand comes to us for some hero shots but don't want to spend time and budget on a photo production.

Hanalys is a cosmetic hair brand from France that came precisely with these requirements. They needed high-end visuals for their homepage but didn't want to deal with a photo production, and they had a clear vision of what they needed.

Compositing 3D Elements into photos: Tuscanini Project

We work with various ad agencies around the globe, and Heart Works is one of them. Though what sets Heart Works apart from classic ad agencies is the quality of their visual assets or ideas we’re asked to create and a very friendly team.

Tuscanini is such a project. The ad images for the project are well-produced and taken on the location. The issue was that the images were missing the cinematic look the agency was after, plus in most cases, the products were not present in the photos. Therefore the images have been cleaned up, and the product and some other elements have been added in 3D to keep the images more engaging.

Bridge - Creating Product Images in 3D

Story of Bridge is not an uncommon story for us, especially for the fast-paced commercial market of today.

Bridge™ is an oral pouch that satisfies nicotine cravings while eliminating the harmful chemicals found in traditional tobacco. One that can travel with the person. The issue at the time was that all designs and graphic elements were ready but the product wasn’t out of the production line yet.

As a result, we are asked to create photographic quality renders and animations of the product. You may find some of the images below but better yet you may check them on the website of the Bridge.

Selfmade Eyewear

A few months back, I had the chance to meet with an entrepreneur who had the vision to create high-quality sunglasses. As a small project, we almost ended up retouching and editing all the photos on the site.

This is an interesting project because the project came into fruition during COVID days, and all creatives were at different parts of the world working at home, and ideas shared on Trello pages. I hope you find these beautiful and high-quality sunglasses exciting as well and don't forget to visit Selfmade.by

Best Online Video Resources for Photo Editors

It’s common that even as I act as a freelancer before hiring independent of my previous work samples, companies or photographers don’t jump and hire you. Especially photographers when they try to recruit you one of the questions I get from time to time is “where did you learn retouching from and how do you improve your skills?” at first these questions were a bit strange for me, I was thinking at the time “why do they care? If my work is good enough for their project, why do they care where I got it.”

Effect of Virus and Globalization on Post-Production Industry

Almost six years ago, I left twenty years of career and left office life for the passion I had since high school. For good, I planned it a lot and would blame myself for not trying. I had thought of what I would do in detail and had planned out everything.

There is a famous quote by Carl von Clausewitz;

Every plan is a good one - until the first shot is fired.
