Photography Services for Artists

Artists frequently need high quality photographs of their work to submit entries for shows and exhibits, to use on their website, and to make giclee prints for sale. I provide artwork duplication services for a number of local painters as well as 3-Dimensional artists. I can also provide archival ink jet prints on photo paper or canvas up to 44 inches wide.

Fully Color Managed Process: Matching the colors of the original artwork is critical. I use a fully color-managed workflow specifically designed for flat art reproduction and include a standard color reference chart with every piece of art to ensure that the colors match as closely as possible. Standard photo processes such as Lightroom can't properly match colors since they're designed to produce "pretty" colors rather than accurate colors.

High Resolution: I use a 150 megapixel camera system to capture all of the fine details in the original work.

Non-glare Lighting: Oil and acrylic paintings frequently have a glossy finish that creates reflections and hot spots caused by normal lighting.When needed I use cross-polarized lighting to virtually eliminate reflections so the artwork can be seen clearly.

Various File Sizes: Artists frequently need a variety of sizes; small versions to post online, medium size files to submit to shows, and large, high-resolution files that can be printed. I routinely supply all three sizes for each itiem photographed so you don't have to worry about resizing the digital photos.

Print Prices


Prints are produced using professional quality printers and paper. Finished prints are sprayed with a protective lacquer to enhance durability. Modern prints are typically rated at more than 100 years before there is any noticeable fading.

I also recommend that prints 8 X 10 inches or larger be mounted to a firm backing board so that framed prints won't wrinkle or sag over time.Custom matting and framing is also available.
