Project:
Scan, color-correct, image-edit, and optimize graphics for print and web

Client:
Hinckley Pottery

NOTE:
CMYK colors might have shifted during the creation of these web RGB samples.

Photographing pottery is difficult because shiny glazes create noticeable, bright white hotspots, even with natural lighting.

I do a lot of image-editing for Jill Hinckley, founder of Hinckley Pottery and a nationally-known potter. This series of examples is from her latest brochure, which I also designed and art-directed.
