Simple vs. Complex Composites

What is the difference between a simple and complex composite?

It’s all dependent on what you’re trying to accomplish! Are you looking for a dynamic image that captures attention or are you just looking for a simple way to show your product in different settings?

Simple Composite

A simple composite involves placing one image into another, for example replacing a can in a complete scene of a picnic table. 

This option is great for brands looking to save money on their photoshoot and instead of have their product placed into various scenes in post. It’s also a good fit for products that come in a variety of color ways so that you can show each option in the same set up.

Complex Composite

A complex composite involves multiple images for example placing all of the elements of a picnic onto an empty table. 

The benefit of a more complex composite is that you can make it be whatever you want! We can even change the color, mood, lighting of a complex composite to match your needs. And you can create multiple crops from the one final image, delivering multiple assets. But it is a lot more work, so we equate 3 simple composites to one complex one when it comes to pricing.

Amber Andrews is wonderful to work with! She’s wicked fast and is very detailed oriented. After meeting Amber (about two years ago) and seen what she can do, she is the one and only person I turn to for photo editing and retouching. Thank you for making the impossible possible!
