Works-of-Art Photography Services

I focus on capturing the essence and intricate details of an artist’s creations. Whether a significant painting or sculpture, or a complex installation, I employ techniques that show the piece in context and highlight subtle textures, colors, and depth, ensuring your work stands out. With my expertise, I can help you build a compelling portfolio, enhance your online presence, and attract potential buyers or galleries.

Works-of-art photography

I photograph works of art for museums, galleries, artists, private collectors, and book publishers across a range of media, including:

  • Glass art of any kind

  • Sculptures in any medium

  • Oil and watercolor paintings

  • Installations in museums and galleries

Sessions photographing works of art are typically held on location.

Clients include Bainbridge Island Museum of Art, Emory University, Joseph Rossano Studios, Linda Hodges Gallery, Marquand Books, Martin Blank Studios, Museum of Northwest Art, Washington State University Museum of Art, The Whatcom Museum, Tacoma Art Museum, and University of Washington Press, among others.

How it works

Step 1:
Inquire

Reach out by phone, text or email to share the details of the artwork that you would like photographed, and any ideas you have in mind for the session. After our conversation I can send you an estimate.

Step 2:
book the date

Once the date is booked, we’ll schedule a follow up call to confirm details such as the number of pieces and their location(s), as well as any last minute changes and updates.

Step 3:
shoot and Delivery

I will be at the agreed upon location ready to go at the scheduled time. Edited, high-resolution, images will be uploaded to a gallery, and a link provided. 16-bit TIFFs (for museum quality printing) may also be provided at no extra charge. Just ask!

FAQs

  • My office is in Seattle’s Fremont neighborhood. Since artwork is most commonly photographed in situ, I work at museums and galleries throughout the Pacific Northwest, including the Seattle Metropolitan area, the Olympic Peninsula, Bellingham, La Conner, British Columbia, The Palouse and Sun Valley, among other locations.

  • Yes! I have extensive experience photographing a wide breadth of media, including paintings (large and small), sculptures of any size and medium, as well as glass.

    That said, artists being artists, I’d bet that right now some creative creature is making something none of us has ever seen—or experienced—before. And when it’s ready, I’ll be there to try to capture it!

  • Digital photographs of art are usually turned around in just a few days, depending on my schedule. When photographing a large collection, it mght take a little longer.

  • All art images are critically color corrected, then rendered in high resolution in either Jpeg or 16 bit TIFF format (or both).

  • Images are usually delivered via private, online gallery. I may send or deliver the files via flash drive if there are a lot of very large files.

  • I accept Zelle, most major credit cards and checks. Payment is due on the day of the shoot.
