Our role covered photography, retouching and post-production, building a consistent visual system across all four images. Lighting, framing, scale and white-balance were aligned from the very first frame, so the series could read as one single body of work without any image feeling repeated.

The retouching was the quiet protagonist. Every crease, tear, scuff and crumble was worked on individually, pushing the damage to the point where it tells a story, while keeping the object clean enough to sit as a standalone portrait on a gallery-white background. The restraint is what makes the concept land: no distractions, no decoration, just the object and what it implies.
