Product Photography

Artists are accomplished with the tools of their trade but are recently falling prey to the challenges of photographing their art. In the past, adequate quality slides were easy enough to produce withouth the aid of a professional photographer. But the evolution of the digital world has changed all that. Professional quality digital photography equipment has increased the demand for flawless and provocative images that convey the essence of artwork to its fullest and best light.

ZAPP? No problem!

Check out the following artists:

Eric Slocombe is a wonderful sculptor. I recently photographed his entire collection of bronzes. He gets his motivation from Mother Nature and renders animals and Indians with a perceptive eye that draws the viewer in from all angles. I had an interesting conversation with Eric about the differences between his perception of art and my own. As a photographer, I tend to see one best view to reproduce in two dimensions wheras Eric sees things in three dimensions. Check out samples of his work (and my photography) in my gallery section under Bronzes. To see more of Eric's work, go to ericslocombe.com.

Mike Brostko Pottery. Mike discussed with me the changing world of digital image submissions of his artwork required for ZAPP applications. Some artists figured out that digital quality and flexibility gave them an edge in the highly competitive arena of art show entry judging. Amateur slides and dupes are no longer viable options.

Artists...are you looking for a photographer to portray the essence of your artwork in its most favorable light? Contact me for a quote. I learned my craft studying tabletop product photography. That's where I learned the attention to detail and the lighting precision that are hallmarks of my photography. When shooting with transparency film, there were no options to be lax or sloppy. You had to get it right "in the camera".
