Virtual Groups & Virtual Backgrounds

Here's a effective and cost efficient way to market your professional team and keep it current. First, we take individual pictures of each person making up the team:



No more hassles trying to schedule a time or place when everyone is available. Adam's image above was taken 10 days after Amy's picture (below) at different locations across town from each other.



Using sophisticated techniques we've developed in Photoshop, we not only bring the individual members together into one image, but we make it look like they were actually standing together when we took the picture.



Once the picture is finalized, it can be perputually updated. The ad below was developed after changing two staff members and updating the picture of one of the other staff members.



It's possible to put together and maintain a virtual group of over 100 people. Call or e-mail for a quote.

Through Virtual Backgrounds, we're also able to provide continuity and context by placing individuals on a uniform background. Often, we'll shoot a background of an area that is identifiable and/or symbolic to both staff and customers. In this case, the background used is a wall in the client's office. Using many of the same Photoshop techniques we insert the individual into the image. This is more complicated than simply moving one layer onto another. We carefully work on the edges of each subject to make sure there is a natural transition between the person and the background.



We keep the background image in our archive so that we can use it over and over as staff changes or individuals update their pictures.
