Art Reproduction

Direct digital capture of artwork is similar to traditional photography of artwork in that we use a camera and lens to photograph artworks, prints, photographs, and three dimensional objects. In a direct digital capture workflow the traditional film holder on the camera is replaced with a digital capture back, which, instead of a film transparency, produces a high-resolution digital file. The image sharpness, color, and tonal range of these digital files are exceptional.

In House Services: Our in-house workflow is available to individuals and institutions willing to bring the artworks / objects to our studio. We provide careful handling and storage of the artworks, as well as locked fireproof storage for smaller objects. For fragile works, we invite our clients to join us in the studio so that they can handle the objects themselves. We have both easel and copy stand set-ups available as well as sweep tables for three-dimensional objects.

On Location Services: For clients who are unable to bring the artworks and/or objects to our studio, we provide on-location digital photography services. This is especially useful for museums and institutions housing unique or rare collections. For smaller projects, one photographer will come on-site with the computer, camera, and lighting equipment needed for the session. For larger projects, we prefer a team approach in which an art photographer and computer technician work together to create and manage the digital files.
