The aim of this workshop is to develop your practical skills and the critical understanding needed for the successful photographic documentation of 2D and 3D works of art, including paintings, drawings, sculptures, ceramics, manuscripts, books, costumes, jewellery, glassware, and photographs. The entire reprographic workflow from lighting and capture, to the preparation of archival assets and fit-for-purpose derivatives is undertaken in our reprographic studio. This includes the staging, lighting, exposure, processing, archiving, colour management and preparation of files for limited-edition fine art prints, or print-on-demand services, or publication in print and online. While state-of-the-art equipment is used in the workshop, in our follow up LIVE Tutorials particular emphasis is placed on achieving the best possible results with your own equipment in your own studio, along with addressing any issues you are encountering.
The workshop is supported by a resource rich website and presented in six one hour sessions accessed by clicking on each Session Button below:
Session 1 – Reprographic Theory
• Reproducing colour and form
• Reproducing artistic and curatorial/scholarly intentions
• Evaluating colorimetric accuracy
• Simultaneous contrast – illusion versus fact
• Colour management in digital reprographic workflows
• Cultural Heritage ISO Standards – viewing, display & capture
Session 2 – Reprographic Practice
• Quality control targets, greyscales, rulers, and scales
• Reprographic lenses – resolution, contrast and MTF curves
• Controlling diffraction, distortion, and chromatic aberration
• XY scanning, single shot, multi-shot cameras systems
• Tethered capture and ICC and DCP camera profiling
• Lights, – modifying, shaping and controlling reflections
Session 3 – Photographing 2D Works
• Geometry, alignment and scale
• Flat lighting flat works
• Scene calibration and lens cast calibrations
• Reproducing surfaces, textures and colours
• Works on paper – drawings, photographs, prints, books
• Works on woven materials – canvas, silk, linen,
Session 4 – Photographing 3D Works
• Perspective – drawing with a lens
• Depth of field calculations
• Focus stacking and exposure stacking
• Diffuse, direct, and polarised reflections and lighting angles
• Illuminating highlights, shade, shadows and the third dimension
• Notan lighting for photogrammetry & 3D modelling
Session 5 – Reprographic Workflows
• Creating Archival Assets
• Creating destination specific Derivatives
• Scene referred capture
• Archiving file formats and Metadata schema/templates
• Colour grading and enhancing depth & dimensionality
• Working with equipment we already have
Session 6 – Derivative Production
• Soft proofing versus hard proofing practice and limitations
• Converting to sRGB for web distribution
• File preparation for limited edition prints
• RGB to CMYK, Greyscale, and Spot Colour conversions
• ISO publishing standards and guide prints
• 3D Output and Access (AR, VR, Screen)
The ‘Flipped Classroom’ facilitates a uniquely comprehensive yet individual learning experience where your creativity, knowledge and needs focus the inquiry, while your engagement and participation defines your outcomes. Our Live Streamed Tutorials are designed to maximise our time together clarifying the course content and answering any follow-up questions and topics.
