PHOTOGRAPHY

Photography that sees the artist, not just the angle.

At Lix Creative, we specialise in creative portrait and EPK photography for musicians, performers, artists and other makers of mayhem and meaning.

Whether it’s in the studio or out in the world, we seek what makes you unique — a flicker of the true you, a crooked grin, a tell-tale in the shadows.

PHOTO EDITING

With a fine art understanding of light, form and tone — and over 20 years of experience in post-production — digital editing and image manipulation are among our specialties.

When we shoot, we compose with the final image in mind — lighting and framing designed to bring your concept to life. But even if you already have high-res files from another shoot, there’s often still plenty we can do to enhance them.

Check out some of the cool stuff we can do below. Slide the vertical bar left and right to reveal the BEFORE/AFTER for each example. Then check out our latest photography work if you haven’t already.

EXAMPLE #1: Prop creation and re-positioning, detail creation and editing, texture and form manipulation (enhancement, smoothing, reshaping), light manipulation, colour grading. No AI used.

EXAMPLE #2: Composite environment creation, peripheral object removal, missing detail construction (out-of-frame ponytail recreated), detail and texture refinement, light manipulation, colour grading. No AI used.

EXAMPLE #3: Composite subject ensemble from multiple different shots with movement blur in poor lighting. Background created through restoration of old low-res photograph + custom large-letter-postcard mural graphic. Foreground/background light and tone matching, detail recovery and enhancement, element replacement and repositioning. Some AI used for detail recovery, refining and tone correction on subjects, clothing tweaks, seat replacement and background image detail recovery/enlargement.

EXAMPLE #4: Composite environment creation, detail clean-up and refinement, texture and form manipulation (enhancement, smoothing, reshaping), light and tone matching, colour grading. No AI used.

EXAMPLE #5: Post-shoot prop creation and integration – custom dragon claws 3D printed and chrome finished, shot in matched lighting, edited into scene with micro light and colour grading. No AI used.

EXAMPLE #6: Unwanted subjects removed, missing background scene elements seamlessly recreated, tonal grading. No AI used.

EXAMPLE #7: Composite environment creation, subject re-lighting (from front lighting as shot, to rear lighting for new scene), wolves hand drawn to fit environment, light/tone/perspective alignment, colour grading. No AI used.
