ABOUT

Concept
This fashion portrait project focused on a refined, cool-toned aesthetic with rich burgundy accents. The key objective was to align deep wine tones in the corset and sheer mesh gloves against a clean, neutral background while keeping skin tones natural and delicate.

Execution
Post-production was performed using Capture One and Adobe Photoshop:

- Applied non-destructive Dodge & Burn to smooth skin tonal transitions on the face, shoulders, and arms, preserving natural skin pores and subtle freckles.
- Executed precise color grading to balance the cool neutral studio background with saturated burgundy fabrics, maintaining correct color separation between clothing and skin.
- Cleaned up garment micro-wrinkles, refined fabric edges, and polished hair styling for a clean commercial appearance.

Results
Delivered color-calibrated, high-resolution master files suitable for fashion lookbooks, apparel campaigns, and editorial publications
