Recent accessory work
Two accessories, before and after.

BeforeAfterAccessories retouching covers the small hard-surface goods a catalogue is built on — bags, belts, footwear, eyewear and small leather goods — where the material has to keep its grain and the shape has to stay honest. These are the items customers zoom into, so the detail has to survive the clean-up.
View PortfolioAn accessory is usually photographed close and viewed closer. Over-cleaning is the common failure: smooth the grain out of leather and it stops reading as leather.
Texture is cleaned, not erased. Leather still looks like leather.
Straightened and balanced without changing what the customer receives.
Every colourway of the same style presented identically.
Returns on accessories are driven by colour and by shape — a bag that looked slimmer online, a shoe whose tan was warmer on screen.
Dust, fingerprints and studio reflections are removed at full resolution, so grain, weave and stitching stay intact.
Buckles, zips and clasps are cleaned and their highlights rebuilt to one light source, rather than left with whatever the studio reflected.
Handles, straps and soles are straightened and balanced. The silhouette is corrected, never slimmed.
Colour is matched to your sample and held across the range, then a second retoucher reviews the run before delivery.
Each accessory category fails in its own way, so each is handled by a team that knows the failure. Specialist pages cover the categories we run most often.
Accessory catalogues normally ship alongside clipping paths, shadow creation, colour correction and packshot retouching. For full seasonal sets see catalog & lookbook retouching.
Priced per image and published openly, rather than quoted on request. E-commerce product retouching runs $1 – $4 per image. Clipping path and background removal run $0.50 – $2.
Where you land inside a band is set by complexity, monthly volume and turnaround — nothing else. Standard turnaround is 24–48 hours and carries no premium. Your exact figure is confirmed after the free test, not before. Full bands, with euro and sterling equivalents, are on the pricing page.
Below roughly 500 images a month a high-volume studio is usually the wrong choice, including this one.
Post-production for bags, footwear, eyewear, belts, wallets, hats, scarves and small leather goods — cut-out, colour, hardware clean-up, shape correction and consistency across the range.
No. Cleaning is done at full resolution so grain, weave and stitching survive. Smoothing texture away is the most common fault in cheap accessory work.
Yes. Left and right are matched for angle, length and colour so a pair reads as a pair rather than two photographs.
Yes. Reflections of the studio are removed and replaced with highlights built to a single consistent light.
Live work is 24 to 48 hours, and a free test edit comes back within six hours.
Around 500 images a month is the point where high-volume studio pricing makes sense. Below that a freelancer or small studio will usually serve you better.
