Agua Caliente Casino + Spa Rancho Mirage
This was a difficult assignment with only two hours to accomplish seven variations of the Pivat Cigar Lounge. I used available light for all of the shots. Retouching of the main image took 7 hours to balance the color, rid a multitude of reflections, smooth fabric on chairs, + add an image to the TV monitor. My retoucher added the smoke trail and the ash on the cigar. The final usage of the imagery was for website display and print. My retoucher is Lona Walburn, masterful & artful. (www.lonawalburn.com) I’ve been working with Lona for years.
