photo post production & cgi Oct 2019

"Additive is a post-production studio based in London and represented by Horton-Stephens. There are bigger companies out there, but that’s not what they’re about. They revel in small… they are Boutique! What matters is that when you deal with them, you’re speaking to the artist that’s going to work on your project. Too many other post-production / CGI providers leave you talking to the monkey, but with Additive it’s all organ grinders. No flashy offices, just amazing work!

Comprising two talented CG artists/retouchers with over 20 years’ experience between them, you benefit from superb project management by their agents, Horton-Stephens, and all the efficient communications that that brings, whether talking stills or motion.

As photographers' agents, Horton-Stephens are also well placed to manage any photographic elements that any given projects might entail and to propose a holistic approach to any image creation solutions."

Using their team's combined ‘superpowers’, Curve Digital realises ideas for the automotive industry. Their work encompasses CG and high-end retouching to create photo-realistic images, and enables them to offer greater value to their clients.

"Curve works closely with photographers and agencies who embrace change. Change affords everyone flexibility, enhances creativity and makes the process more efficient. Above all it helps clients to get more bang for their buck."
 
CEO Nick Limb states: "'We’ve always done it that way' has to be the most dangerous phrase ever spoken. In this new portfolio of work, we’ve done things differently and pushed the industry out of its comfort zone and fully utilised CGI technologies."

Curve has created images that change the way we view post-production. No longer a reactive retouching service, post-production is proactively changing the way clients and photographers approach projects and helps them embrace the changing world of CGI.

Daniel Sian is a Brazilian CG artist and creative retoucher who has been working in the advertising industry for over 10 years with clients in Brazil, Peru, the USA, Dubai and New Zealand.

During this time he has been constatnly improving his technique for creating, manipulating and composing images of the most varied levels of complexity, with an artistic look and attention to the smallest details.

As advertising has no limits in the creative field, the artist is invariably pushed to their technical and artistic limits, since each new work is always based on a new idea. Because of this, Daniel has developed skills at all stages of CGI/retouching production, from concept to post-production.

This is our daily goal, driven by our passion for photography and design.

We are professionals with vast experience in digital retouching; we have a good eye to bring out the best in each image, and most importantly, we love what we do.

We work for Rolling Stone, Telefonica, M&C Saatchi, Joma Sport, Ogilvy, Bazaar, L’Officiel and more."
