MASTER IMAGE DEVELOPING:
Elevate your photographic craft with my exclusive Master Image Developing service. This premier offering is designed specifically for individuals who've participated in my Workshops or Creative Photo Sessions and are committed to refining their skills and reaching new heights in their artistry.
Master Image Developing goes beyond providing a professional touch—it's an immersive journey that enhances your skills, sharpens your techniques, and deepens your understanding of the photographic process.
Our journey begins with your selection of RAW image files. From these, I choose the ones that show the greatest potential for development, providing you with detailed feedback on my choices.
In the next phase, your chosen image benefits from my expertise and care in the digital darkroom. I handle your image as if it were my own, fine-tuning each detail to achieve the highest quality outcome. The result is transforming your raw material into a professionally developed Master file.
Your Master Image Developing package encompasses a Master File - the ultimate realization of your image, professionally enhanced and optimized, with all the layers of work saved. It also includes a Flat-Master file that allows room for further adjustments, print files formatted, sized and sharpened, and web-sized files designed for optimal online display and sharing.
We convene for a 30-minute post-work Zoom session after completing the digital development process. This session provides a valuable opportunity for you to understand the decisions made, the techniques applied, and their impact on your final image.
To guide you in transitioning your professionally developed image from the screen to a physical piece of art, I offer an in-depth interview with the nation's top fine art printers and finishers, along with a personal introduction. Plus, you get a bonus—a 15% discount on your first print order through these trusted professionals.
WHAT PHOTOGRAPHER’S ARE SAYING:
“Master Image Developing was a terrific piece of learning for me - precisely the right teaching delivered at the right time in the right form. Not only that, but recording the session has provided an invaluable reference for me that I can keep coming back to (and already have!). It has really helped solidify my understanding of many of the concepts around the molding of the clay that you have been explaining in all the sessions!”
“He is an awesome coach and teacher. He challenged me and brought my photography to a new level. His follow-up emails captured what I learned and what I needed to know going forward. He is intelligent and a great conversationalist. Most importantly, it was so much fun! I look forward to our next session.”
INVESTMENT AND BOOKING:
The Master Image Developing service is a significant addition to your artistic journey. Each image developed is priced at $375, an investment that includes professional digital darkroom work, a thorough consultation process, and comprehensive file packages.
But for those ready to delve deeper, I offer a special package: transform three images for $1000, a bundle that provides considerable savings compared to the individual service price. This comprehensive package also extends the post-work Zoom session to a total of 60 minutes. This extra time ensures a more extensive exploration and a deeper understanding of the techniques applied to your images.
The true value of Master Image Developing lies not just in enhancing your images but in nurturing your understanding and evolving your skills. The service offers a unique learning experience, allowing you to grow beyond our workshops and sessions.

FAQ’s
-
Open communication is vital to achieving a result that aligns with your vision. Before I even begin working on your image, we will have a comprehensive discussion where we outline your aesthetic preferences and the overall feel you desire for your photograph.
However, photography is an inherently interpretive process. Give the same image to ten different photographers to develop, and you'll end up with ten different outcomes. While I will apply my expertise to enhance and refine your image, ultimately, it's a collaborative process that heavily depends on your unique perspective.
At the end of our process, you will receive a Master file with all the saved work. This file provides you with the freedom to make further personal adjustments to the image according to your specific tastes.
Maintaining your satisfaction throughout this process is my utmost priority. If there are aspects of the final image that don't align with your expectations or artistic vision, it's important for us to address these. We're in this together, aiming for a final product that not only meets professional standards but also authentically captures your artistic expression. Remember, this is a collaborative journey, and your feedback is an integral part of its success.

The Master Image Developing service is a collaborative process. Before beginning any digital darkroom work, we will have a detailed conversation about your image and discuss the direction for its development. This shared understanding ensures that the development process aligns with your aesthetic vision.
However, I recognize that the final result might spark new ideas or changes you'd like to see. While my aim is to fulfill your expectations during the initial developing process, you are certainly welcome to request minor changes or adjustments after reviewing the Master file.
Remember, you'll receive the Master file with all the saved work, which means you can make further personal adjustments according to your specific tastes. This is part of the educational aspect of the service—you'll gain hands-on knowledge about the image developing process that you can apply to your own future work.
I am committed to ensuring that you are pleased with the final result and walk away from this experience not only with a professionally developed image but also with enhanced skills and understanding of image development. -
Selecting the best image for Developing is an essential part of the Editing process, and not all RAW files are suitable for this stage. This is why I request you to submit a selection of images for review. When reviewing your photos, I'm searching for those with a strong foundation—optimally exposed, well-composed, featuring a clear primary subject, and without too many secondary elements.
However, a strong foundation is just the beginning. It's crucial that the image also carries the potential for Depth and Mood, and the intangible elements that imbue a photograph with life and spirit. Only some strong foundations possess these qualities, highlighting the importance of thoughtful Editing in the photographic process.
Together, you and I will scrutinize your images to identify those that demonstrate a strong foundation and hold the potential for transformation into a piece with substantial Depth and Mood. These dual criteria guide our selection for the Master Image Developing process.
-
During our post-work Zoom session, we'll conduct a comprehensive review of the Master Image Developing process specific to your image. I will walk you through each step of the journey your image has taken, explaining why I made certain decisions and how I executed them. You'll gain insights into the thought process and techniques used to bring out the full potential of your image. This session is a valuable opportunity for you to ask questions, discuss techniques, and deepen your understanding of the artistic and technical considerations involved in image development.

Transitioning a digital image into a physical piece of art can be a complex process. To support you on this journey, I provide valuable resources and assistance.
Firstly, you'll receive an in-depth interview featuring one of the country's top fine art print finishers. This will give you a wealth of insights and advice to guide your decisions in moving forward.
Furthermore, I'll personally introduce you to these renowned professionals. This connection gives you access to top-tier finishing services and opens a line of communication for advice and guidance tailored to your specific artwork.
You can count on my support to guide you through the complex process of turning your digital image into a physical work of art that you can proudly showcase.

The timeline for the Master Image Developing process can vary based on both my current workshop schedule, travel, exhibitions, and your availability as well. However, we generally aim to schedule our preliminary discussion within two weeks of you sending the images via WeTransfer (to info@scottreither.com). From there, I typically have everything completed and ready for our post-work Zoom session within an additional two weeks. This ensures that the process is thorough, unhurried, and allows for the time needed to craft a masterpiece from your original image.
