Silver and bronze prize winner of the 2024 edition of PX3 Prix de la Photographie de Paris

Based on long-standing collaboration between House of Retouching with the photographer Jason Bell this was one of many projects for English National Ballet. These photos were shot to promote La Syphilde production, adaptation of a French ballet, show of a pure romantic dance.

Apart from sublime, very precise and cohesive editing of each dancing pair our task was to compose them all in one image as they would be seen all dancing on one stage at the same time. Focus point and shared element between the dancers was the sash, to us symbol of lightness, airiness and effusion.

We were responsible for retouching of this House Peroni photo advert shot by Jason Bell when Peroni Italian lager company, opened doors in East London to expand their brand experience. This was a wonderfully styled photo session prepared by professionals and our job was to put it all together and add final hi-end finish.

The retouching task involved extensive compositing of the background and model's skirt, build the spacious and extensive beautiful space around her, including water in order to achieve like a painting, mysterious mood. We used Capture One for colour grading and Adobe Photoshop for retouching.
