Behind the Edit: How Our Photo Editing Agency Delivered Stunning Results for Starbucks
At The Retoucher Studio, we pride ourselves on being a trusted photo editing agency for premium brands across North America. One standout project was our collaboration with Starbucks—an opportunity to showcase our full capabilities as a high-end post production studio and product photo editing company.
A 16-Image Project Across Diverse Settings
The Starbucks shoot encompassed 16 professionally photographed images, captured across both indoor and outdoor environments. Each location presented unique lighting conditions, color palettes, and compositional challenges. From sunlit patios to dimly lit cafés, our objective was to ensure visual consistency and brand cohesion across every image.
Tailored Edits for Each Image
We approached each photo with precision and attention to detail:
Product Color Matching: We meticulously color-matched Starbucks beverages, ensuring each drink stood out while remaining true to the brand’s signature hues—especially when held by models in varying lighting conditions.
Color Grading Across Environments: Our expert photo color correction team adjusted tones to create visual harmony between indoor and outdoor shots, selectively enhancing saturation and contrast for maximum impact.
Garment Cleanup: Utilizing advanced retouching tools, we removed creases, dust, and pleats from outfits while retaining natural texture—a hallmark of our portrait image editing quality.
Background and Object Removal: Unwanted distractions in both indoor and outdoor settings were eliminated to draw focus to the subject and product.
Seamless Delivery, Brand-Ready Results
All 16 images were delivered in layered PSD format, providing Starbucks’ design team the flexibility to repurpose assets across various platforms. Our efficient, collaborative process, combined with technical expertise, elevated this campaign—demonstrating why The Retoucher Studio is a go-to photo editing agency for lifestyle and retail brands alike.
Collaboration with Le Consulat
This project was executed in partnership with Le Consulat, a renowned post production studio based in North America. Their creative direction and our technical proficiency culminated in visuals that not only met but exceeded client expectations.
