They seem so innocent. And they are. Sometimes. Not so much when they lead to certain questions.
Is it possible to shoot in Carnaby Street? Er…
Is it possible you can agree to longer payment terms? Well…
In April, I was asked, ‘Is it possible that you could take an image of a vehicle interior that is a left hand drive car and make it a right hand drive car?’
“Erm…”
Flip me
Flipping an image is a pretty simple thing. The main issue is of course all the dials, letters, numbers are now all wrong. And the branding. But it gives you a really quick view as to what is now needed and then you can see what can be done with what exists and what might need to be built.
Fair to say that this is the shortest blog post you’ll probably ever read from me, but here’s the original I was sent:
And here is the image a short while later when I’d started to see how it might fair. This wasn’t a 100% completed image but it was done to show that it could be done. It was a mix of Photoshop standards:

Hope you like it. If there’s something I’ve done that you like and want to know more, drop me a line.
