Almost every Artist I’ve spoken to has regretted not having their now SOLD and often commented upon artwork photographed. Or the photograph that they did take (themselves) was simply not suitable to use for reproduction prints. The regret for some as they’ve related their story has been very evident. So even if you’re not ready to get into making prints yet, it still makes perfect sense to have your artwork photographed, prepared for printing and archived to USB or hard drive.
Having a premium quality photograph or scan done, should become the final part of your process every time you make a new piece – the digital files you have prepared can then be used for endless things – but most notably marketing and selling reproduction prints. This can open whole new markets for your work.
Only a small percentage of the population ever buy expensive original works, but a vast number of people will pay a more modest sum for a high quality reproduction print from the artist, so creating a digital file of your originals can make a substantial difference to your ability to earn a good living as a practicing artist as it opens up new income streams – indeed it can make the difference between commercial success and failure.

It is highly recommended that you do this before you sell your original works – and you have every right to do so of course. It’s almost impossible to convince clients to give back works for later reproduction though, so do make sure you bring your new works to us as you produce them.
At Fine photos I can not only help you begin, or add to your catalogue of images, I’ll also make the process as easy as, ‘dropping it off and collecting it’ when the job is done.
Contact us if you would like to discuss having your artwork professionally photographed.
When complete you will receive a USB drive that contains each of your colour balanced images in named folders, in high resolution formats ready for printing and low resolution formats for use on the web or on social media.
That’s right. Every time you have an artwork photographed or scanned you will receive a colour-balanced mini print, along with all of the digital files. This reference print ensures you have a colour-balanced reference of the original for the future.
