Photo Editing: Color Grade & Background Replacement
Raw shoot is the Left image , Right shoot is the final edited Image with background replacement , matching colourgrade and cleanup
A birthday shoot for a local client, a young boy. The studio shots needed to feel like a real scene, not a portrait taken against a backdrop.
I retouched the boy's skin, trimmed the hair in Photoshop so the cut was smart and clean, and replaced the studio backdrop with a new background. Then I color graded everything to hold together as one scene: matched light, shadow, and tone so the new environment reads like it was shot in camera.
On these second images , I pushed it further for the birthday theme, adding birthday elements to make it feel festive and finished.
