endthefear.co.uk Domestic Abuse Campaign – Image Compositing, Masking & Retouching

Created a powerful image of a Manchester terraced house door with a security door chain made of wedding rings for a domestic abuse campaign. The ajar door, outside, security door brackets, screws and each of the wedding rings were photographed separately. Each of these elements required retouching, colour and lighting correction, masking and compositing. All the shadows were created from scratch and extra highlights were added to make the composite more realistic. To target specific communities this campaign was produced in 5 different languages (English, Urdu, Somali, Bengali and Arabic) and strategically placed in different neighbourhoods.
