Project description
We have just finished shooting a new season and ended up with about four hundred frames. They were taken over three days in the same hall, but the daylight drifted, the backdrop collected dust, and the same jacket looks noticeably different in a morning frame and an evening one. What we need is not a set of individually beautiful pictures but a catalogue that reads as one series: a buyer scrolls a grid of cards, and nothing should jump out of that grid.
The scope we expect is the whole pipeline, not separate favours. Background removed or replaced with an even light one; colour aligned to a reference frame of the real cloth; dust, lint and loose threads cleaned off; distracting creases flattened; everything brought to one crop and one output size for the marketplace specifications we will hand over; light retouch of the models; then the result sorted into folders by article number, with preview sets we can approve in batches rather than at the very end.
Three conditions are fixed before the work starts, and we would rather say them out loud now than argue about them halfway through. Fabric colour is not "improved" — the buyer has to receive the item they saw on the screen, so we agree on a reference frame shot from the actual cloth in advance, and every other frame is matched to it. The figure and the face of the model are not redrawn; only what distracts is corrected. Source files are not published anywhere and come back to us together with the finished set.
What we are asking you to confirm in your reply:
— how long four hundred frames take you at a steady pace, and how many you can show in the first approval batch;
— how you keep colour consistent across a series shot in drifting light;
— what you need from us besides the frames: reference cloth shots, article list, marketplace size requirements;
— how you hand over the result — folder structure, file naming, format and resolution;
— whether you work with the raw files or with exported copies, and how the originals are returned.
