Photographing Art

A project that I am working on is photographing three paintings that my friend and local St. Louis artist, Amy Adams, has painted for a soon to be open restaurant.

My job is to photograph the paintings in the most realistic color possible.  Amy will be using these photos for her own personal use as well as promotional materials.

All three were shot using a tripod and a custom white balance.  While these are ready for web use, I might have some more work to do in getting them ready to be made into prints.

Cheers!

 

Still Life in Odd Color

I took this photo as part of an assignment to create a still life image.

ISO 100 f/5.6 1/100 (-2,-1,0) 50mm

The rocks I used from a children’s game.  I used them because of their slightly odd pastel color.  I bracketed the photo and put it in Photomatix.  I wanted to really give this an odd feel.  It is different, but didn’t really turn out as I thought it would.  Maybe the background is too distracting?

Cheers!
