At the core of Evoke, is the love of working on architecture and homes. Whether it’s a multi million dollar architectural project, or a high end property for real estate marketing, we aim to deliver images that are as rich and vibrant as they are clean and subtle.
With the ability to move easily from a natural editorial style, to the traditional ‘white walls and ceiling’ real estate style, we are able to cover all your architectural and property retouching needs.
We are a team of artists, and unlike many ‘production line’ services you may find elsewhere, we treat each image as an artwork that is carefully assessed and tended to according to the individual features of each and every property.
“Vanessa has provided for many years, what I consider a Premium service. She looked after my high end photoshoots for my most discerning clients. What I like about her retouching is that she was able to veer away from the generic “cookie cutter” formula that so many clients accept, and interpret my individual needs and nuances. She understands how I shoot and the overall look and feel of a project. It is refreshing to find someone that can facilitate a customised service in this field. She is a good communicator and I never felt like just a number.
The other challenge she faced was that I often shoot medium format digital with very large files that require decent processing power to handle and therefore more screen time. She never balks but instead loves working on those files I would recommend her in a heartbeat…but for the fear of her getting too busy!”
Des Harris - Creative Director, The Picture Desk and CREATIVE Property Marketing

fast turn around photo retouching for my real estate photography business.

The complex compositing and digital polishing of people, places etc is the joy of advertising and television work.
Bursts of creative freedom amongst solid briefs makes this kind of work both challenging and enjoyable.
“No matter if I send Evoke detailed design comp to be made ready for final art or wedding images that require complex manipulations, the clients are happy every time.
Thanks again for all your help over the many years we have been working together.”
Darren Wigley - Designer/Photographer, MrWigley Photography & Design
Vanessa has had the pleasure of using the photographic image in a playful and expressive way for 25 years.
Whether with a small snappy camera or toting an SLR, chasing the right light, colours, forms, motion etc is an endless source of delight.
Many hours spent in University darkrooms gave way to the digital once the introduction to Photoshop was made. This appealed to the explorer in Vanessa, where manipulations were now immediate and endless.
Whether stringing together a series, or creating one off pieces, these creative indulgences are at the heart of happiness and fulfillment.
Heavy retouching in the form of image manipulations are a welcomed challenge for Evoke Photo Imagery.
Whether it’s the removal of an element, or the addition of one, each project is rendered with great care and attention to detail.
More of a side project to the retouching, Vanessa enjoys designing logos, business cards, posters, cd covers etc when the challenge arises.
“Evoke Photo Imagery were fast and efficient in redesigning my logo. Vanessa took on the brief and creatively delivered a design that proudly encapsulates my business.”

In addition to the 3D programs today’s buildings are visualised in, Photoshop work is essential to ground the 3D within the real.
Photorealistic flourishes such as the addition of skies, plants, trees, people, light, shadows, reflections etc are important in enabling the viewer to see the building as it might look in the intended environment.
Or an architect may be seeking a more abstract, stylised or hyperreal effect to present their creation, in which case the image becomes more like an artwork.
Vanessa enjoyed a few years working in some of the top Arch Viz studios in Sydney and continues to contract for some of these.
