Diet Coke Break

A new project for Coca Cola called for a combination of PR/artistic imagery showing 'Coke People' so working with John Harrison he shot the people in a range of poses in their new bottling plant with a view to Photoshopping some of the images.

In this shot I've selectively removed the colour to leave a black and white background with the red lighting remaining on the bottles which were originally clear plastic. The face has been enhanced slightly as well.



In this image I've cropped out the light in the background, reduced the green hue of the image and boosted the red to give a stronger glow on the face. Admittedly it looks better in print than on here. Fly away hairs have also been removed from the left side of the face.



In this shot I've straightened the image, removed the price tags and replaced the green hue with a red one. The plastic wrapping on many of the cans has also been cleaned up.



This was a simple case of skin smoothening, sharpening and eye enhancement:
