Nothing better than a client who sends feed back in the form of a photo with some huge prints done for their office. Once again, the Phase One Image Quality shines. Thanks Justin!!
A while ago, I noticed a post on Facebook, where a Montreal based photographer declared his unlimited love to the retouching procedures.

We had in our Montreal studio an interesting client. The produce very high-end designer light sources. Very cool stuff. Photographing light sources in use, however, presents itself with challenges.
