Local Art Paintings Photography
For a number of years, I photographed the actual artwork (paintings) for The Art Map’s Landscape Calendar which is produced by ColourPix.
Photographing paintings has its challenges. Some of the art had a very high gloss, depending on the paint used, therefore there were many reflections to overcome. Overall, natural window light was the best scenario hanging the painting from a wall with flat even lighting.
The fine art wall calendars feature 12 artists from Bruce, Grey and Simcoe County. Each month features a reproduction of a landscape painting by a local artist. A few of the artists submitted their own reproductions, but I reproduced most of the months with my digital SLR camera.
