Erin O'Connor Photo & Retouch

05/09/2026

So happy to share this Who What Wear feature with Chase Sui Wonders for the 2026 Met Gala, photographed by Alexandra Arnold.

I had the pleasure of retouching Alexandra’s images for this story, the kind of editorial post production I love most: polished, detailed, and refined, while still preserving the atmosphere, skin texture, fabric, movement, and quiet behind the scenes energy of the original photographs.

Retouching for editorial and celebrity work is never about making an image look retouched. It is about supporting the photographer’s vision, keeping the subject believable, and making every detail feel intentional.

If you are a photographer, brand, or creative team looking for professional photo retouching, editorial retouching, beauty retouching, portrait retouching, or fashion post production, I am currently taking on select retouching projects.

Sui Wonders tells us every detail of her first-ever Met Gala, including five beauty treatments, action movies, and still no time to get a manicure.

European Rustic Farmhouse: The Provincial Pantry

Some mockups show a frame.
The best mockups show a story around the artwork.

The European Rustic Farmhouse: Provincial Pantry collection was designed to feel like a quiet countryside kitchen where artwork already belongs.

Warm plaster walls. Weathered wooden shelves. Copper pans and handmade pottery catching the afternoon light.

Instead of simply placing a frame on a blank wall, these scenes surround your artwork with the textures of a lived in home. When clients see their portrait or artwork displayed in an environment like this, it becomes much easier for them to imagine the finished framed piece hanging in their own space.

This set is an essential marketing tool for photographers and artists who want a polished, gallery ready presentation. Strong composites help clients visualize the final artwork on the wall, which supports higher wall art and framed print sales.

Included in the collection:
• Landscape frame mockup
• Portrait frame mockup
• Square frame mockup

Three scenes that work together so your artwork can be presented consistently across your website, social media, and client presentations.

Photographers often ask the same question when building composites:
How do I create portraits that feel intentional, luxurious, and worthy of becoming wall art?

The answer is in the environment.

Jeweled Scarab: Mauve Treasury is a high resolution digital background designed for photographers creating portrait composites, fantasy portraits, and fine art photography in Photoshop.

Inspired by antique jewelry, gilded ornamentation, and decorative arts, this backdrop blends soft rose tones, ivory reliefs, and intricate gold detailing to create a richly layered environment that frames your subject with elegance and depth.

The repeating pattern allows your subject to sit naturally within the scene while the ornate textures create visual interest that feels both timeless and slightly surreal.

This set is an essential marketing tool for photographers and artists who want a polished, gallery ready presentation. Strong composites help clients visualize the final artwork on the wall, which supports higher wall art and framed print sales.

Use it for
• Fine art portraiture
• Fantasy portrait sessions
• Editorial style portrait work
• Maternity and couture portrait photography
• Luxury composite artwork

When your clients can see the finished artwork before it is printed, the sale becomes much easier.

If you are building composites for portrait clients, this background was created with that exact workflow in mind.

Sable doesn’t ask for your attention, she holds it.

A portrait of restraint and resonance, this fine art print pairs quiet melancholy with classical poise.

The grey heart in her hands says what words cannot.

Ivory Veil Canvas is for photographers who want classic, high end results without the noise. It’s a soft ivory, hand painted looking textured digital background that makes portraits feel calm, expensive, and finished.

If you build composites for clients, this kind of neutral backdrop helps you present the work as wall worthy. That is how a simple digital background becomes a framed print sale.

Some rooms don’t announce themselves. They persuade.

Oak & Cashmere is Modern Traditional with a Soft Transitional calm: warm neutrals, classic fireplace symmetry, plush upholstery. These room & frame mockups make artwork feel placed, not pasted.

The realism comes from a designed overlay FX stack that sits above the artwork layer...real shadows, light falloff, matte texture/bevel/shadow, and glass reflections, so it reads like a framed print on the wall.

The frame stays consistent; you customize the artwork and adjust matte size and matte color.

Photoshop or Photopea.
