This brochure for Virgin’s Upper Class Suite was designed to showcase the extensive range of services you would benefit from if you were one of its Upper Class passengers.
The expansive interior shot below was actually only half a mock-up cabin, shot in evening and morning lighting. I spliced 2 shots together and retouched seats, backseat video screens, buttons and rebuilt unfinished areas to create a seamless panoramic shot that grabbed the readers attention as soon as the page was opened.
As well as producing the whole brochure I was solely responsible for retouching the location shots and montaging in the images from the model shoots.
Working closely with the Creative Director, models were shot in front of a black screen
in various positions performing tasks as customers and staff of Virgin Atlantic. The individual shots of models were then cutout in Photoshop, montaged together with retouched location shots in RGB and overlaid with each other to create a ‘luminous’ glowing effect of motion and interaction.

These fully montaged shots were then converted to CMYK, colour corrected and readied for printing and adding to the extensive Virgin Atlantic image library.
Retouching
Over the course of many years I was responsible for hands on retouching and overseeing the retouching of literally hundreds of images for Virgin Atlantic’s image library to the highest standards possible. These images were used across every creative media promoting Virgin Atlantic’s core brand values.
From building and extending aircraft cabin interiors, to retouching models and cabin crew showcasing Virgin Atlantic services, every shot had to be picture perfect every time and on time. This is just a very small selection of some of these finished retouched images.
