Fine Art Copy Photography
An accurate reproduction of your original work of art is a top priority for an artist. Whether your goal is an online portfolio, press-ready digital files, or fine art printing, we understand the unique challenges of fine art copy work and strive for the highest quality. From flat artwork and photographs to large-format paintings and fine art, we enjoy helping our Clients to present their work at its best.
Film
While digital photography is often the most economical solution for fine art copy work, a 4x5 reproduction-grade transparency is the ideal archival material for the serious artist, for cataloging or for high-resolution drum scanning.
We have an excellent system for photographing fine art pieces on to 4x5 transparency film, medium format film, or 35mm slides. We use a precision laser alignment tool to make sure the camera is completely parallel to the artwork surface, resulting in extremely sharp and non-distorted copy shots.
Digital Capture
We can produce 16-bit digital files of up to 70 megabytes direct from your flat artwork. Lighting is color balanced and the final digital capture is carefully corrected to match your original.
We can generate both high quality RGB and CMYK files to suit your final end use. Depending on your file needs, we can either offer you an RGB proof or a SWOP-certified CMYK proof for prepress printing.
Original Artwork
We can shoot flat artwork including paintings, illustrations, and prints up to 72" wide. Artwork over 36" x 45" in size and all 3D pieces will incur a special handling charge.
Turnaround
We usually require a 2-3 day turnaround for copy photography, depending on the workflow at the time your job is submitted. Call for scheduling.
