Art Reproduction
By McClelland Media
Quality Reproduction Photography
Terms like spectral distribution graphs, CRI, lens cast correction, and ISO 3664 don’t sound exciting? Don’t worry, leave all the technical aspects of getting high quality reproduction level photography to me.
Mobile Photography Setup
I have worked hard to create a setup that is functional yet high quality. Can’t get a piece to me? Don’t worry, we can make arrangements for me to come to you. I have worked everywhere from garages to museums.
Flat Artwork of All Kinds
Watercolors, oils, drawings, pastels, and more. I specialize in photography of flat art of all kinds. Glass over the piece? No problem.
Accuracy
Calibration
Equipment is constantly checked and updated with custom calibrations. With X-Rite ColorChecker and Sekonic at hand, your artwork will show its true colors.
Camera
Professional grade cameras provide the extra edge in reproduction quality images.
Clean Light
High CRI and TLCI to make sure that your art is seen in its best light.

FAQ
Most frequent questions and answers
All of the lights that I use are extremely high CRI (and TLCI) LED lights. I set a personal standard for only accepting high quality light that I know, and have verified, produces a high to very high extended CRI.
All lights that I use are of exceptional quality. That said, I am in process of switching all my lighting to newer tech, that has recently surfaced, so that everything is full ISO 3664 compliant for saturation and chromaticity.
As standards and technology progresses, I continue to evolve my setup.
Yes, I can. I use a cross polarization process that removes such problems.
Absolutely not a problem. I am fully capable of capturing subtle details in tone.
Not a problem. I have been working with fully framed and glassed artwork for years. I have many methods for removing reflection.
As for the frame, this is not a problem. But please do be aware that I do not photograph the frame with the piece unless specifically requested. If two images are requested (with frame and without), I may charge a modest extra fee for the additional image.
Please be aware that computer monitors have vast differences in color capabilities, resolution, color temperature, and so on. I personally shoot and edit on fully professionally calibrated screens set to D50 and D65 (depending on the situation).
Most consumer level monitors come with settings that in no way are calibrated to exacting standards. In fact, just about every monitor is set to what the manufacturer assumes you will find desirable. This of course leads to a wide range of color differences, contrast ranges, black points, etc. What looks good on one screen may be very different on another.
Most certainly. All images are provided in TIFF (Adobe RGB color space) files. Smaller jpegs also included in sRGB color space are provided as well. The TIFF files will contain everything you will need in order to print.
Generally, your printer will handle color profile conversion.
By keeping my prices competitive, I find that most artists and museums can work with me to complete larger collections. In essence, I depend on larger volumes of artwork. Whether that be from a single client or from several clients aggregated together in a session.
