The aim of this workshop is to develop your practical skills and the critical understanding needed for the successful photographic documentation of 2D and 3D works of art, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, manuscripts, books, costumes, jewellery, glassware, and photographs. The entire reprographic workflow from lighting and capture, to the preparation of archival assets and fit-for-purpose derivatives is undertaken in our reprographic studio. This includes the staging, lighting, exposure, processing, archiving, colour management and preparation of files for limited-edition fine art prints, or print-on-demand services, or publication in print and online. While state-of-the-art equipment is used in the workshop, in our follow up LIVE Q&A Tutorials particular emphasis is placed on achieving the best possible results with your own equipment in your own studio, along with addressing any issues you are encountering.
The workshop is presented in six one hour sessions accessed by clicking on each Session Button below:
Session 1 – Reprographic Theory
