Happy Finish are a collective of independent retouchers and CGI artists based in London. We work on high-end beauty & fashion and global advertising campaigns.

We are different: photographers and art directors get to work one-on-one with a chosen creative, giving projects the creative expertise and finish they deserve.
Through the "Photography Isn't Dead" project, we want to put straight what we believe to be a common misconception with CGI - that it threatens photographers' existence.

No technology has ever succeeded in replacing the core skills that make a creative person who they are, so we want to empower photographers and art directors to embrace CGI for the great tool it is. Come and find out for yourself!

EVENT 1 USING HDRIs
SEE FINAL IMAGE
8th April 2010
Shoreditch Town Hall
10:30 am, 2pm, 7:30pm
Shoreditch Town Hall hosts our first event on Thursday the 8th of April. We will demonstrate the creation and use of High Dynamic Range Images (HDRIs) with an automotive shoot by Trigger.
Trigger's photographic team, retoucher Christopher Peabody and the Happy Finish CGI team will present step-by-step what to look out for when shooting and lighting CG cars/products in an environment.

We will explain the importance of photographic input when lighting the CG car and creating the HDRI and backplate of the location and invite all attendees for FAQs, nibbles and drinks after the demonstration.
