Gerber Childrenswear was set to lose thousands of dollars in fees from Amazon.com due to shipping delays not getting samples to us to photograph in time to go live. All NFL for the 2023 season had to be updated with new logos and colors, so I suggested a that I gather the Art from our New York partners and retouch them to represent the new colors and logos from the original items.

Image was retouched by an outside vendor and send back to Gerber Childrenswear. The edit was not representative of the true texture of the item. I created a special brush to emulate the individual fibers of the blanket and re-edited the image.

Shoe Carnival did not have the womens white sample available for the shoot. I shot two mens Grey samples and altered one to represent the womens sample

Shoe Carnival: After shooting the original ask, the buyers chose to replace the Blue Swoosh Nike with another sample, however, one sample had already been sent off site. Using Capture one, I lined up the replacement shoe with the original image, and then used photoshop to place it in the grouping
