Recently we had a photo-shoot for Anisa International, Inc. a leading cosmetic brush design and manufacturing company based in Atlanta, GA.
Anisa Telwaris CEO & Founder of Anisa International. She is Creative entrepreneur who started a small distributorship in 1992 and built it into a successful cosmetic global enterprise. Opened a state-of-the art manufacturing facility in Tianjin, China in 2003. Read more about this talented inspirational woman and see the video interview at Women Are Saving The World Now blog.
It is always a big pleasure and source of inspiration to work with such passionate people like Anisa and the rest of her team. Their products are well designed, have a great quality and true challenge for the photographer: exactly what we like:-).
The technical article on how we shoot these images can be found on our photographer’s blog: Shooting cosmetic brushes: simple tips to help dealing with chrome finish. Basically, for the first photo we did the composition of 2 separate shoots: one with and one without that horizontal handle with brushes. Such solution saved us some time on post-production, plus, gives one more benefit: a focus stacking. Read more how we did it.

I wish I would have this device when I was pregnant with my twins
Below are some examples of post-production in Photoshop, before and after.
It was not easy for Alex and me, because we are not a public people. But it was fun and gave us a great feeling that we did something useful:-) We are really enjoy every photo-session with water, because you never know exactly what will come up: every drop is unique:-) This is a very creative process with a lot of experiments.

Now I have some photos to share, including before and after post-production.
Yesterday I attended RetouchPRO LIVE webinar with Steve Koshlap. Steve is a professional jewelry and beauty retoucher. He demonstrated the diamond and jewelry retouch from start to finish using Photoshop. The information was really useful. Looking forward to see his other webinars.
Exactly in this time Alex was shooting a jewelry:-) And now I can use my new knowledge for this retouching. I’ll show you the result in couple months because now it is a confidential information.
Recently we had an enjoyable photoshot of designed and hand made unique products for the artist Doug James.

Lighting setup, technical details, behind the scene video tutorial for these photos, as always available on our photographer’s blog article: Water in product and advertisement photography: episode two released! Today I’ll show you my retouching work. I really enjoyed working with such vivid bright colors. I am a color person, never liked black & white or sepia:-). This is why working with these colorful photos makes me truly happy and positive for entire day.
Hope you’ll feel this energy while looking at our images:-) Have a nice day!
