Small things that are all anyone sees
An executive has ten minutes between meetings for a portrait. In the frame he prefers, the burgundy tie has slipped to one side with a loose knot, one collar point has flipped up over the lapel, there are white flecks on both shoulders, hair is standing up at the crown, and the studio light reflects in his glasses.
Who uses this
- Headshot photographers finishing executive and board portraits
- Communications teams preparing photos for an annual report
- Professionals who like the expression and not the tie
How the edit is handled
A human editor, with AI tools assisting where they help, rebuilds the tie so it hangs straight with a neat knot, lays the collar flat and symmetrical, and removes the flecks and lint from the jacket while keeping the weave of the cloth.
The glare patches are removed from the lenses, with his eyes, brows and glasses frames left as shot. Stray hairs are tidied, and his skin texture and the lines of his face are kept. The backdrop is evened and the frame graded. The parts of the shirt and tie that were hidden are a reconstruction.
What to upload
Send the frame and list what bothers you. If another frame from the sitting shows the tie straight or the eyes without glare, include it. If we use the tie or the eyes from that frame in the finished image, it counts as a photo to edit too, so 1 more credit. A frame we only look at is free.
