Photographing artwork - especially works of fiber art - requires a sensitivity to the medium and a firsthand understanding of what is required to bring out the best in your work. Judy Smith-Kressley of JSK Artist’s Photography Services delivers professional service at a reasonable cost.
COLOR AND LIGHT
The most accurate color reproduction of artwork is achieved using professional Tungsten film and Tungsten quartz lights. This is what museums use to document their work. This is the only type of film used by JSK Photographic Services when slides or transparencies are requested. The fine grain of the film (rated ASA 64) means it will hold fine detail when enlarged up to 600%. Using this film in a 35 mm or 6 x 7 cm format transparencies will satisfy the needs of most publications.
SET UP
All quilts and works of fiber are carefully pinned through a backdrop to a Celotex panel. Fine silk pins are used so they will be invisible in the photo and not damage the art.
Backdrop choices: black, white and neutral gray.
Paintings and 3-D work are placed on stands against the wall with the same backdrops.
TURNAROUND TIME
About a week for slides and transparencies, including 2-day shipping for return.
Package rates including color and black/white prints are available. Images of artwork may be digitally stored on disc to be read by computer with CD-ROM drive.
