Retouch responsibly.

Liquids are dynamic subjects capable of absorbing, reflecting, and interacting with light in captivating ways. Every drink carries its own unique culture and style — and the real magic of drink photography happens in retouching, where each image is perfected to bring every drop to life.

After two decades working alongside the best beverage photographers in the industry, OMS's retouching team knows the delicate balance of reality and idealism that makes a liquid image truly sell.

Liquids and photo composites.

On a photoshoot, only the best photographer knows how to capture all the exposures using a variety of lighting techniques and high-speed sync photography. There can be numerous photos that need to be put together to create the final vision — and OMS's retouching team knows all of this after two decades of working alongside the best photographers in the industry.

Drink photos rarely use a single image. Even when the photographer takes just one shot, you may still want to add stock splashes, smoke, ice, or ingredients to complete the scene. What everyone needs are retouchers who understand the delicate balance of reality and idealism.
