The moments that lead here

If one of these is your afternoon, you are in the right place.

Before I deliver the composite to the client creative lead, make it impossible to call out as fake — match vanishing points and lens distortion, create physically plausible contact shadows with falloff matching the background light, add ambient occlusion under the subject, equalize grain and color, and provide a labeled PSD with shadow and perspective layers separated for final tweaks on Monday.

Who does this, and with what

The same task is different work inside a different job.
