The right light to make the best sculpture photographs in ABQ
It was great to have Sharon back in the JCP Home Studio with two more of her sculptures. I was surprised our first shoot was already over 1.5 yers ago! Last time we used a white seamless background, but Sharon wanted something this time for the limestone fox and marble birds. I suggested using one of my stone surface Duo Boards with just a black V-flat background. A little bit of tweaking of the light, adding a reflector, and voila, I was able to produce the high impact sculpture photos below (see the BTS shot for how I set things up). Shooting tethered really help me show Sharon how the light wrapped her sculpture in real time, so we could add some fill light with a reflector when needed for certain views of the sculptures. I of course welcome artist input during the entire shoot, as Sharon knows the views of her sculptures the best! Thank you Sharon for continuing to choose me as the photographer for your fantastic artwork!
New ceramic artist brings her work for professional photographs in ABQ
Some of my favorite clients to work with are local New Mexico artists and I am always most flattered when an artist chooses me to photograph their work. Such was the case when Dee visited the JCP Home Studio with her ceramic artwork to get professional photos made for Etsy and art shows. She stayed for the entire shoot as I welcome artist input for getting the best angle of the pieces, after all, it is their work and they know it best! We worked together to make the best photos to show her work online and carefully chose the lighting and background, in addition to positioning the pieces. Check out Dee’s Etsy page to buy her work online, and even better, go in person to see her work and other artists too at an art show in Corrales, New Mexico on December 3rd, 4th, and 5th 2021. Thank you Dee for choosing me as your art photographer and I look forward to your next series!
