Architectural Photography, Construction Progress Documentation

Using a modern 4x5 view camera, I am able to produce high quality, technically correct architectural images for advertisement or other commercial purposes. Additionally, a Hasselblad medium format system allows the efficient but detailed capture of less geometrically difficult subjects. Images can be produced in various digital formats or in printed form.
Technical and Product Photography

Large and medium format capture systems are employed to create high quality, detailed images of either technical or product related subjects.
Artwork Reproduction

To produce digital images of artwork, the original is uniformly illuminated with color balanced sources and optically imaged onto a suitable type of 4x5" sheet or 120 roll film. The film is then scanned using Imacon 848 virtual drum scanning technology, resulting in a very high resolution 16-bit/channel RGB image. Following any minimal digital retouching for dust or minor blemishes, the high-resolution file is provided on CD in tiff format. Additionally, several resized jpg files may also be requested for inclusion.
Photograph Restoration, Retouching, Digital Manipulation

As with flat artwork reproduction, the original is uniformly illuminated with a balanced source and optically imaged onto 4x5" sheet film. The film is then scanned at 2040 ppi using Hasselblad/Imacon 848 virtual drum scanning technology. The digital file is then retouched and color corrected as necessary in PhotoShop and may then be produced on CD, or printed using giclee or optically-imaged digital printing.

Giclee Printing

Using Epson x800 stylus-Pro printing hardware and ImagePrint RIP software, quality fine-art Giclee prints may be produced from digital image files. The Epson printing system now employs the 8-color UltraChrome K3 pigment ink set. Used with suitable archival papers and when given proper care this ink set has been rated for a permanence of 80 years. The paper used is presently Hahnemuhle Photo Rag Bright White - 310gsm, and is one of the finest archival papers available. The prints are printed with an ample border, interleaved with archival tissue and are packaged in an archival bag.

People

Specializing in location photography, I can bring the portrait studio to places of your choice. There is no more effective method to add personality to portraiture than to capture the subjects in a familiar setting. Highschool seniors, individuals, couples, families, pets or any combination can be meaningfully captured in a special location.
