of the content, photo divisions. Looking for a job.

Dear Sirs

I propose the implementation of my technology for shooting with automatic knockout in your company  — create the necessary custom equipment, train staff and dock the process with your current ERP/CMS environment.

First, it works

It works reliably and predictably with guaranteed projected results.

It dramatically reduces the cost

of the photo production process, shortens the deadline from days and weeks to thirty seconds and at the same time strongly raises the quality.

Fully finished photos

for placement in ERP/CMS and online can be withdrawn real-time directly from the photographer's workplace.

It's fast. It is very fast.

The technology was created for the sake of the speed of processing increase. 
Reaching from more than tenfold to hundredfold shortening of the deadlines, we received the following bonuses:

It's cheap, it's extremely cheap

It's easy, it's very simple

Personnel requirements are dramatically reduced. Hi-end quality photos can be produced by any tidy worker.

You save, you save a lot

You save on cutting staff and wages while improving the quality and shortening deadlines.

Own studio may be much cheaper than outsource

If you still do not have own studio, it is possible that you senselessly enrich your outsource contractors.

Hi-End Quality Knockout!

For all that, cheap as ever (less than junk market offers) — you obtain the images of maximum achievable quality.

at the same time get hi-end knockout quality and real-time process. My unique skills and know-hows break beyond eternal «fast-best-cheap» triangle. With me you get all three.

«Fast, Cheap, and Good… pick two»

— no longer works. You get all.

Just look at the sample

processed without involving manual skills (crop from 2000x3000px finished image).

The finished image is made without retouching

and without Photoshop or Lightroom in seconds after the shutter release, without manual intervention.

I propose the implementation of this technology 

in your photo production, create the necessary custom equipment, train staff and dock the process with your current ERP/CMS environment. Hire me.

Please note that all samples are accompanied by the original RAW camera files. By comparing these with fully finished images, you can judge the potential of this technology for yourselves.

And the samples are not 300 x 300 px but 4000 x 5000.

can be implemented in any production environment — in the model shooting, photographing jewelry, shooting of white goods, hardware, staples, shoes, grocery and so on.

is a special way of shooting. Each frame is duplicated backlit. Derived from the backlight frame mask is used for knockout.

Watch a video

which briefly describes the main features of the process.

The idea of a backlit frame itself

is not a panacea, but in combination with the techniques I have created it produces phenomenal results.

The veil made of translucent filament.

Hat with a veil is a complex scene

Because it is a fiber and this fiber is translucent. Hell for the retoucher.
Or it is nothing for the retoucher if you pay him for frank trash.

The point is that through my technique

of shooting and processing, the image «FinishedFogHat1.jpg», https://goo.gl/6gdkrh is produced automatically, without employee remuneration with minimal operator actions and much faster than usual «$5 clipping path» trash. Not taking in the account the fact that by hands this result, in principle, is not reproducible.

Besides. Five bucks for each image you keep to yourself.

«It is taken too small»

just because this scale is more than enough for technical requirements (size and output resolution) in this production session.

And the used setup
(camera fixed above the capture cradle) can be used for the shooting of objects having a huge variation in the size, of about 1500mm to 100mm without rearrangements (without shifting of camera, light, or the focus ring). This cap, for example, was shot in a single session with the five-foot stoles and seven-foot hammocks, and the camera (with prime lens) was not shifted.

For appearing shot оbjects larger or smaller

camera can be shifted or used with other lens. Сapture cradle can be made with a motorized camera motion.

in general, fully illustrate the essence of my offer — automatic knockout of images.

Any enterprise

which needs continuous updating of the site is interested in optimal cost of production scheme.

Dream is

to place on the site the raw camera images. When between the shutter release and placement on the site neither time nor resources are consumed. It is obvious that images are obliged to meet the specified quality standards.

For the sake of it

it is possible to shoot on a decorative backgrounds, decrease the quality requirements to knockout background or placement on the site frank trash.

My technology

allows automatic and perfect pit background. It allows to obtain an image of the highest quality and, simultaneously, an extremely low price and, herewith, in real time.

In addition to all other benefits

for such manner of shooting you can fully concentrate on the light of the subject of shooting. As long as you have to keep the background illuminated while shooting — from the nature of things — you will have to agree with certain degradation of the object outlines, especially when the object merges with the background.

Knocking background

with light formers, you inevitably provoke the degradation of the image. Through backlit frame you can stay focused on lighting the object itself.

Now furs are processed with the means of Photoshop script. Version CS2 is quite enough.

of continuous updating of images on the site this technology:

• Reduces requirements to experience and qualifications of staff
• Speeds up image processing, shortens deadlines
• Cheapens production of the images
• And at the same time improves the quality of images with perfect knockout, depriving them of the traditional «sable rims», shadows and/or lighted in through holes, borders and areas adjoining/closing with background

★ To paragraphs 1-4 applicable epithets «acutely», «strongly» and «dramatically».

In cases when subject requires

operator intervention — the intervention is far less laborious than with traditional methods of retouching. It is not voluminous, tedious and doesn't require precision movements.

It is possible to implement a real-time production

of finished images from the workplace when a few seconds after clicking the camera shutter, fully finished image are available in the ERP\CMS repository for posting on the site.

Always ask for the RAW camera files.

Ask RAWs always and from everyone

To compare RAWs with full-sized finished images on your own.

There will be much less competitors.

tell you: «We do not need it. We always could have done it.»

And it is wonderful

Because I have raw camera files for them. Etude, bagatelle.
I need a minute to complete this exercise, this entry level quiz.

Being an engineer I am nobody as a retoucher

Your senior retoucher and photographer will fulfill this elementary test faster and better.

If not — that's where they are wrong, I'm afraid
