Photography & Post-production

Tools used: Lightroom.Photoshop.MidjourneyThis collection mostly showcases my work for Blue Button Shop Toronto, where I combined photography, design, and digital media to support their e-commerce and campaign efforts. I handled product and model photography, retouching, and background keying for a polished look on the website. Additionally, I worked on seasonal campaigns, helping direct models and create visual content for social media. My role included designing weekly e-newsletters and creating simple web pages for special promotions, each piece crafted to enhance the brand’s online presence and engage their audience.

Product Photo Retouching & Compositing

Photo editing

Product photo retouching using manual Photoshop techniques. I work with tools such as patching, dodge & burn, and frequency separation to refine textures, correct imperfections, and remove distractions while keeping a natural look. In addition to e-commerce cleanup and color matching, I also take on compositing projects, rebuilding forms, blending new elements, or creating clean backgrounds, to deliver images that are polished, consistent, and brand-ready for catalogs and marketing.

Blue Button Shop’s “How to Style” project highlights curated product pairings, showing customers how to mix and match items for a complete look. Aimed at driving sales and boosting engagement, each installment showcases styling tips that combine featured pieces with other items from Blue Button. In this project, I took on multiple roles—art directing models and their poses, handling post-production and photo retouching, and designing a simple, engaging web page to present the content through Blue Button’s internal blog system.
 



Style Coordination

In the “Style Coordination” series for Blue Button Shop, I focused on capturing outfits in a way that lets customers imagine themselves in the looks presented. My role involved photographing each outfit with a carefully crafted lighting setup to create a unique, almost dramatic tone that blends 2D and 3D qualities. After shooting, I handled post-production, retouching, and editing to ensure each piece looked polished and engaging. I then created multiple formats—web, Instagram post, and Instagram story—tailoring each for optimal presentation across platforms.
