Expert Art Reproduction Photography in Chicago, IL

As a visual artist, your labor brings to life objects of unique quality. The digital capture of your art for a portfolio, merchandising, or any other purpose should be carried out by someone who can recognize and reproduce all of its distinguishing characteristics. Scroll down to discover why high-quality digital capture of paintings and other art require the skills of an experienced photographer.

Accurate Color and Tonal Gradation

To reproduce accurate color and tonality you need only two simple concepts: even lighting and end-to-end consistency. Yet the devil is in the details. Every piece of equipment, from lights to camera to display to output, and every scene must be measured with a calibration tool. Then light sources must be carefully arranged, measured, and adjusted to evenly illuminate the artwork while producing zero reflections. If the process sounds technical and tedious, that's because it most certainly is technical and tedious! Experience and attention to detail can save you time and headache.

Faithful Reproduction of Intricate Textures

Accurate reproduction is about more than color. Often times paint textures and heavy brushstrokes, an important part of the artist's expression, are lost in translation. The same goes for fine fissures, imperfections in glazing, and other qualities that speak to an artifact's age or history. Crosshatching, metallic finishes, and even the texture of common canvas can translate poorly if not handled well. Careful lighting techniques and other processes can make all of these problems disappear from the final reproduction.
