I’m delighted to announce I offer photography for print reproduction of your paintings. In collaboration with Time Capsule Art & Framing in Shawnee, I’m able to make high resolution, accurate color and exposure print files so you can make high quality reproduction prints of your paintings. Chris and Casey at Time Capsule give me space to work so your art stays safe with them - no need to bring the painting to me. No purchase is necessary at Time Capsule, but they do amazing work so do check them out. They are a local business and wonderful people. Here is the info about the service:
I’m Sue Ryan of Sue Ryan Photography. I’m a fine art portrait artist in Bailey, Colorado. I am a Certified Professional Photographer and a member of Professional Photographers of America. I am pleased to offer professional photography of paintings for reproduction prints in cooperation with Time Capsule Art and Framing in Shawnee, Colorado. Professional quality photo files will allow painters to sell an infinite number of high quality reproductions, allows for larger size reproductions, and increase the value of the original painting.
My entire process is calibrated using the X-Rite color system, the industry standard for color calibration and technology, and the owner of Pantone. My camera is color calibrated and each painting is photographed alongside an X-Rite Color Checker which gives me an accurate target for white balance and color calibration confirmation. Before each job I calibrate my monitor with an X-Rite X1 Display Pro calibration device. This guarantees industry standard color fidelity to your photo files.
In the camera room, I use double polarization to eliminate glare. This means I use a polarizing filter on my camera lens, and also polarization films on my lights at 90 degrees opposite the polarization of the filter on the lens. This cuts all glare possible from your painting. I set my exposures using a Sekonic light meter, metering both sides and the center of your piece to insure even lighting across the piece.
Finally, I look at each file on the computer. I check white balance and color accuracy, then look it over for any stray dust, fiber, brush hairs, etc., that may have been on the actual painting, and retouch those out.
You receive a full resolution TIFF file. I can also send directly to Time Capsule Framing for print.
