ART REPRODUCTION

The documentation of 2D and 3D works on location within a gallery or in the studio. Colour, texture, form and luminosity are all key and it is necessary to take a bespoke approach that considers the individual qualities of the artwork and the limitations of the space. 


Digital reproductions are often the first contact with the viewer either on social media or print. Documenting an artist’s output with accuracy and consistency is an important responsibility and years of experience, combined with technical knowledge and attention to detail, ensures the best results. 


With a long career spent shooting in artist’s studios, galleries and art storage spaces, knowing how to build a set and configure the lighting is key to attain the perfect reproduction. 


Working with Phase One cultural heritage program and medium format digital has allowed me to shoot 16-bit colour and a larger dynamic range. The benefits of using profiles with x-rite and capture one ensures you can photograph the artwork in its closest representation, which is the most important part of this job, rendering the artist’s vision as faithfully as possible.
