Editing Your Images

3/29/2016

Curious about what editing really means?

First of all congratulations Joe for graduating High School! And getting into your choice school Arizona State! I see wonderful things in your future Joe and thank you for having me take your graduation portrait!
The first video and photo here show my basic editing services. Package editing includes, color correction, skin smoothing and tone correction, teeth whitening, and removal of any obvious inclusions in your image. It does not include, slimming, accessory removal (bracelets or hair ties on the wrist), or larger editing such as wrinkle removal from skin and clothing.
As you can tell from the video above that even the basic or included editing services will improve your final image while retaining photo integrity! It's never a compliment when someone sees a photo of you and says, "Wow! That doesn't even look like you!". I work really hard to correct imperfections while keeping your image recognizable and not blurry.

Here is another edit of Joe. In this image and video you can see an example of my additional editing process. Additional editing is $30 an image and is best reserved for head shots or close up images and boudoir images.
Additional editing services cover artistic filters, additional skin smoothing and blemish removal, wrinkle removal to skin and clothing, face slimming, body slimming, and stretch mark removal.
Minor changes to your original edits are always completed upon request, however more in depth and time consuming changes to your image will require purchasing additional editing services.
Compositing images or removal of backgrounds is performed at no additional charge for commercial clients and is included in your session fee. Please let me know as soon as possible if you also would like composite edits.

Here are some more shots from Joe's set! In total 8 images were selected from his 1 our session in studio. Additional session images are always available, your one hour session will yield 20 proofs for you to select 5 included edits to go on your custom webpage and APP and extra edits are just $15 each for basic editing! Thank you Joe!

BTS from the AWF Wrestlers Photo Shoot

Promotional photos for the AWF Wrestlers

I was asked to update the imagery for the AWF Wrestlers, and do so onsite. I offer this service for commercial clients only. I wanted to share with you a "fly on the wall" experience of the whole shoot. Not the most exciting video ever produced, but there is a fun battle between Luke X and Richard Lansing around the 4 Minute mark... and Koda is pretty fun to watch in general. I'm 6'1" and he makes me look tiny! God bless him. ;)
Thank you for watching and supporting independent wrestling. Get out to an AWF show!

Rachel's New Headshots!

3/22/2016

0 Comments

Rachel with HearLife of MN, LLC in Roseville came into the studio last week to update her headshot for their website. We had a great time! Rachel brought with her an example image to match from the existing website and I was able to capture the new media so that it looks similar if not the same to the images in use.
If you need to do the same thing, and your previous photographer is unavailable please send me an email with your image to be replicated and I will let you know if I can do so! Most of the time I can create a similar image and provide additional editing requirements such as a round edit.
I really enjoyed this quick 30 minute photo shoot, thank you again Rachel and Ali! I have some availability in the studio this week! Send me an email to schedule!

Dave's New Headshots!

Thank you Dave!

Dave is new to the Twin Cities, home is Brooklyn, New York and wanted something less traditional for his headshots. He went the darker route and I love how these turned out.
Congrats on the new job at a Minnesota corporate giant! Dave is an engineer and specializes in redundancy reduction. A man after my own heart! He is also a former marine!
I'm really glad you selected Nouvelle for your images and I'm sure your consulting work will take off! I really appreciate it when my clients allow me to try different things with their images! I feel like it helps separate you from the pack!
I'm still booking for the last week of March! Spring is a great time to update your social feeds with new headshots!

What our customers have to say

I worked with Elle Halls of Nouvelle Design Studio for my business profile picture (used for LinkedIn, email, website, business cards, etc.) and she was amazing! She really listened to what I wanted, and made me a part of the process, stopping many times throughout the shoot to show me how the photos were looking. What I thought was going to be a "business errand/chore" ended up being a lot of fun! I highly recommend using Elle for your photography project.

Thumbtack client Kristin J.

Excellent experience. Elle was able to coach out the "model" in me and provided many shots I can pick from. She went well above and beyond me expectations and the final product is excellent.

Thumbtack client Scott J.

Working with Elle was wonderful! I was doing a fashion shoot and it was so fun! She's very nice, funny, and professional, the shoot went like that! She has a very keen eye and did wonderful work! Very happy with my photos. Thanks, Elle!

Thumbtack client Elena C.

I love the photos of myself and my daughter. We were given excellent direction so we could get the best shots. I couldn't be happier with the results! I highly recommend booking a session for any type of photography you are looking for!
