We have extensive experience capturing a variety of original art. We will professionally photograph it, colour-manage the digital file, and optimize it for print. Our client list includes professional and amateur painters, artists, educational institutions, conservators, governments, museums, commercial/public galleries, and art foundations.

We professionally photograph your original artwork using a Phase One 150MP Medium Format Digital Camera in a critically controlled lighting studio setup. A single shot from the Phase One will result in a native capture size of approximately 48 inches on the long side. Depending on the aspect ratio of the original art, the native resolution of the original art on the capture file will be 36 to 44 inches on the long side at 300 pixels per inch. This can be interpolated or up-sized in Photoshop. Multiple shot stitches are available for larger output requirements.

Some of the varieties of original art include:

• oil and acrylic paint on canvas or board
• watercolour painting and illustrations on paper
• fabric arts and textiles
• mutlimedia pieces (including 3D elements)
• art with high gloss or highly reflective elements, such as varnishes, metallic paints, gold leaf, and glossy films
• Super oversized art (larger than 6 foot)
