At our rapidly growing US studio, our Portland team had the opportunity to take on an exciting retouch project from Nike SB. Featuring athletes such as Stefan Janoski, Kevin Bradley, Lance Mountain and many more on-board the brand's highly skilled pro skateboarding team, the raw collection of mid-action images were nothing short of exhilarating. Our team, led by senior retoucher Tom Berry, was briefed to colour grade the action images for a variety of distinct holiday season activations to match the mood of the sensational scenes in a range of rich winter colour tones.

Happy Finish producer Louise Murray commented on the project, saying, "It was a pleasure to work with the superb Nike SB team on this seamless retouch and grading project. We were excited to take on the challenge of creating various winter color grading treatments that conveyed a diverse range of locations and climates while feeling consistent as a set. Overall we were very pleased with the final collection."
