Life is Art - How We Turn a Photograph Into a Picture Perfect Work of Art

Have you ever been to the beach on a busy day here in Charleston, SC and thought, “If only I had a magic wand to make all these people disappear it would be the perfect spot for a photo…”?

Many people don’t understand that a skilled artist has exactly this kind of magic wand at her disposal (it’s a good, old fashioned paint brush!).

We can’t make the tourists leave the beaches, but we can give you the images you want with some editing and fine art techniques after the photos are taken.

Removing photo bombers from a scenic backdrop like Folly Beach, Kiawah, or Isle of Palms is just the tip of the iceberg. So much more than that is possible, too. Our master artist, Maria Sampaio, is a genius when it comes to taking multiple photos of a scene and putting bits and pieces of each one together to make a seamless, breathtaking scene.
