Art reproduction service for artists, galleries, museums and private collectors. Technical photography by Alexander Nesbitt – on location or in studio.
Nesbitt offers exacting fine art reproduction services for artists, galleries, museums, and private collectors. Works are photographed in studio or on location as needed. We’re very familiar with significant works and the top end of the market; Nesbitt and his staff understand and operate with complete confidentiality. This complicates marketing our services and you will notice very few images on this page – this is by design and an integral part of our confidentiality commitment.
Reproduction Photography of paintings and art works can be done in our studio or by traveling to your location. Shooting can be done in residences, galleries, storage facilities or museums. Nesbitt shoots with a strobe flash lighting system which overpowers any existing lighting and subjects the art to just a few 100ths of a second of light. This is by far the least light intensive method. A series of color accurate reference cards are photographed with the art, these cards are the basis for a rigorous color management process. Challenges of texture, glare, glass, sheen, frame shadow and existing light are all easily managed using polarized light and various lighting strategies.
Printing reproductions is part of our service. We offer high-quality, color accurate photographic prints with our 5 machines and a variety of media options. Our art reproduction service includes sophisticated technical options like flat-bed printing, very large sizes, and prints on materials identical to the original. Let us know what you are thinking of and we can help guide you through the options.
Additionally Nesbitt has devised a system for photographing extremely large works using a combination of software and specialized camera mounts. This system produces images of 10 ft. x 10 ft. works at 250dpi – high enough to print precise reproductions. With an effective image size in the range of 400 Megapixels this is an uncommon capability and a rare solution for large artwork reproductions. Let us know if you require further details or have specific technical requirements.
