ABOUT
Concept
The focus of this high-detail beauty shot was to emphasize a glossy makeup aesthetic, wet hair texture, and specular skin highlights. The brief called for precise post-production to clean up complex textures (water drops, fine strands, vibrant makeup) while maintaining authentic pores, fine skin details, and rich color depth.
Execution
Post-production was executed in Capture One and Adobe Photoshop:
- Applied precision Dodge & Burn workflows to balance intense specular highlights and soft shadows while leaving natural skin texture fully intact.
- Refined makeup boundaries, eyebrow definition, eyelash separation, and lip gloss reflections for a crisp, high-impact finish.
- Controlled wet hair strand placement, enhanced local contrast, and balanced color tones across makeup pigments, nail polish, and skin undertones.
Results
Delivered color-calibrated, ultra-high-resolution master files suitable for beauty advertising, cosmetics campaigns, and digital displays, balancing polished glossy effects with authentic skin preservation.
