Portfolio Photography for Artists
Upon joining the Foyer Gallery in January 2005 I became aware of a
need for artists to get professional quality photographs of their
artworks. I now routinely shoot the "current" artworks for the Foyer
Gallery website.
When
artists started to call me to shoot their art for submission to
juries, their website, posters, prints and magazine
articles..., it was then that I decided that there were very few
photographers in Ottawa to fulfil this niche market. I now
provide
this service to dozens of Ottawa artists.
So when the need arises...
let me photograph your artworks for you.
My photographs of artworks have appeared in various newspaper
publications as well as in magazines "Parkhurst Exchange" (
October 2006-Terry Sametz, November 2006-Jinny Slyfield, January
2007-Donna Lynd) also in Ottawa Life (January 2007-Jinny
Slyfield, March 2007 - Patricia Kirby).
What I provide:
I will go to your studio/home with my studio lights, photograph the
art, download to my laptop and together we will colour correct and
decide on the contrast/brightness of the image on my colour calibrated
monitor.
I then optimize, square up and crop the image for you and provide
you with a CD/DVD of the images in 3 folders:
1. small size jpg (sRGB colorspace), resized and sharpened at 1024 x
768 pixels for submission to juries, website or email.
2. high quality jpg (sRGB) ready for printing at any size you like
(generally 8x10 inches) that you can print at home or at commercial
printers (eg FutureShop, Black's, etc)
3. colour corrected master TIF files, ready to be resized
and sharpened to any size needed in the future.
Although not immediately apparent, I include "copyright (date), artist
name. All rights reserved. " in the metadata header of all files. This
copyright can be
viewed in
the "file info" dialogue of many imaging programs and lends some level
of
protection to artists from misuse of their images.
Generally the turn-around time is 2 days but I have done on the spot
turn-around in extreme emergencies.
The sliding scale fees are:
$15.00 /image for the first 19 images (minimum of 10 for me to come and
shoot)
$12.50 / image for 20 or more
$10.00 / image for 40 or more
Stock Photography
All images on this site are available for commercial and editorial uses for an appropriate licence fee. This is generally limited to one time use for a specific purpose and time frame. Prices will vary depending upon number and final use of images.
Service Photography
This means I am a photographer for hire ("have camera, will travel"). If it interests me I'll shoot it. My fee is $200-500 depending on travel time and length of shoot. The cost of processing is extra and is done at commercial rates. Contact me with your needs and we will arrive at a mutually satisfactory arrangement.
