Kurt Geiger

Fashion · Footwear · UK

Scaling seasonal campaigns without scaling headcount

Kurt Geiger is one of Britain's most recognised luxury footwear and accessories brands, selling across flagship stores, department stores, and a high-traffic e-commerce platform. Every season brings thousands of new product images - all needing consistent, brand-accurate retouching at pace.

🔴 Challenge

Seasonal campaigns required between 3,000 and 6,000 product images per month, retouched to strict brand guidelines - consistent white backgrounds, precise shadow work, and detailed cleanup across footwear and accessories. Their in-house team couldn't absorb the volume without quality slipping.

✦ Solution

We onboarded a dedicated editor pod trained exclusively on Kurt Geiger's brand standards. A shared style guide and reference library was established alongside a 48-hour batch turnaround pipeline that could flex up and down with seasonal peaks and quieter periods.

★ Result

Between 3,000 and 6,000 images consistently delivered every month at a 98% first-pass acceptance rate. Campaign timelines shortened significantly with zero brand standard violations across consecutive seasonal drops.

Sunsets Inc

Women's Lingerie · E-Commerce

High-quality imagery that does justice to a premium intimates brand

Sunsets Inc is a women's lingerie and intimates brand publishing approximately 2,000 high-quality images per month across their digital assets - including Sunsets Inc and Sunsets.com. Shooting lingerie on models demands a very specific kind of retouching: natural, refined, and brand-consistent - never over-processed.

🔴 Challenge

Model-based lingerie photography comes with its own set of challenges - uneven skin tones across different shoots and lighting conditions, colour inconsistency between batches, and damage or distractions on garments that only become visible in post. Every image needed to look cohesive and premium across their entire digital presence.

✦ Solution

We focused on three core areas: skin refinement to achieve smooth, natural tones without losing realism; precise colour toning and consistency matching across all images in each collection; and careful distraction and damage removal on garments - pulls, creases, lint, and any fabric imperfections that detracted from the product.

★ Result

Around 2,000 polished, cohesive images published monthly across both Sunsets Inc and Sunsets.com. A consistent visual identity maintained across all digital assets, matching the premium positioning of their collections at every touchpoint.

Fabio De Stefano

E-Commerce Photography

Luxury label quality. 2,000–3,000 products. 24-hour delivery.

Fabio De Stefano is a specialist e-commerce photographer shooting for some of the biggest names in fashion - including Tom Ford, Marni, and Bally. With volumes of 2,000 to 3,000 products per month and luxury label standards to uphold, he needed a retouching partner who could match the quality and hit the deadline, every single time.

🔴 Challenge

Shooting for luxury fashion labels means zero margin for error. Every image demands detailed hollowman work, precise detail creation, dust and fingerprint removal, and colour correction to exact brand specifications. With client delivery windows of 24 hours, Fabio needed retouching capacity that could keep pace without cutting corners.

✦ Solution

We offered highly competitive pricing alongside a firm 24-hour turnaround on all batches - giving Fabio the confidence to promise fast delivery to his label clients. Our editors handled the full post-production stack: hollowman fills, fine detail work, dust and fingerprint removal, and colour correction to each brand's individual standards.

★ Result

Fabio now delivers 2,000 to 3,000 fully retouched product images per month to clients including Tom Ford, Marni, and Bally - all within 24 hours of shooting. The competitive pricing structure allowed him to scale his business without his post-production costs scaling with it.

I went from spending half my week in Photoshop to spending all of it shooting. My revenue almost doubled in six months.

Ranch Creative

Digital Agency · Battlesbridge, Essex, UK

Boutique agency. High-end production. One retouching partner for all of it.

Ranch Creative (ranchcreative.com) is a UK-based full-service digital marketing agency and production house based in Battlesbridge, Essex - around 30 minutes from London. They position themselves as a "boutique agency with big capabilities," combining high-end creative content production with data-driven marketing strategy. Photography - commercial, product, food, and sports - sits at the core of what they produce.

🔴 Challenge

Ranch's production offering spans commercial, product, food, and sports photography - across a varied client base with widely different retouching specifications. Managing post-production across these different briefs, styles, and output requirements was creating friction in their workflow and slowing down client delivery.

✦ Solution

We embedded into Ranch's production pipeline as their dedicated retouching partner - handling post-production across their full photography output with the flexibility to adapt to each client's individual brief. Whether commercial product, food photography, or sports imagery, we matched the spec and delivered on time.

★ Result

Ranch gained a reliable, flexible retouching partner who could handle the full breadth of their creative output without them managing multiple suppliers. Their production team moved faster, knowing post-production was handled - freeing them to focus on creative direction and client strategy.

Having one partner handle all our briefs - with consistent quality regardless of what we throw at them - changed how we run production entirely.
