Compositing a Model Into a New Scene

Shoot models in a studio and drop them into any location you can imagine.

Why Compositing Beats Location Shoots

Shooting on location eats budget and daylight. Weather, permits, crowds, and travel all stack against you. Compositing lets you shoot the model once in a controlled studio and place them in any environment later, with full creative control.

Retouchable extracts the model with edge-accurate hair and clothing masking, then drops them into a scene with matched lighting, shadow, and color. The result holds up at campaign resolution.

5 Tips for Model Composites

Shoot With Scene Light in Mind

Before the shoot, pick the scene. Light the model with the same direction and hardness as the target environment or relighting will fight you later.

Leave Headroom for Hair

Do not crop tight to the hair. Flyaways need breathing room for the mask to work cleanly.

Match Camera Height

If the scene background was shot waist-high, shoot your model at waist height too. Mismatched camera angles break perspective instantly.

Watch the Ground Contact

The model's feet need to sit on the scene's ground plane. Check the heel position against the background perspective before exporting.

Add Atmosphere

A subtle haze layer between model and background implies air between them and adds depth to the composite.
