culling & retouch

Finding the Gems: Quality Over Quantity

We helped a professional photographer cull and enhance a collection of 5,000 photos from a child photoshoot. The project required careful selection of the best shots while considering emotions, composition, and technical quality.

The photographer tasked us with:

  • Culling 2000 photos, eliminating similar shots, and retaining only the best images that showcase excellent quality and emotional appeal.
  • Performing basic yet professional color correction, ensuring consistent lighting and cohesive tones across the selected photos.

  • Delivering a visually pleasing, "sorted" result that highlights the best shots via Pixelect.

Our approach

To meet the photographer's needs, we:

  • Used advanced tools and drew on our experience in album design and understanding client preferences.
  • Focused on selecting photos that truly resonate with audiences, prioritizing natural emotions, balanced poses, and expressive moments.
  • Created a streamlined culling process to manage the large volume of images efficiently while ensuring no great shot was missed.

Rough Patches and Solutions

During the project, we encountered some challenges in managing a large volume of similar photos, dealing with blurriness, closed eyes, and awkward expressions, handling uneven lighting and color variations. To address this:

  • Implemented a multi-stage culling process to systematically review and narrow down the images, focusing on quality, variety, and emotional impact.
  • Prioritized photos with clear focus, natural smiles, and genuine expressions, ensuring the final selection captured the child’s personality.
  • Applied professional color correction techniques, balancing exposure and tones for a cohesive and polished final collection.
  • Delivered gallery with selected and processed photos for the customer.
