HOW I WORK
I work directly with artists, galleries, museums, collectors, and other clients to produce accurate photographic documentation of artwork. Having the client involved in the process is important, particularly when color, texture, materials, and surface details need to be represented precisely.
Every artist and every artwork is different. The photographic process adapts to the work, whether I am photographing a single painting, a complex installation, a large-scale sculpture, or a multi-component piece.

FAQ’s
My installation is delicate and difficult to handle. I might need help putting it up in your studio?
Bringing a helper will ease the process when putting up an installation.
I have a grid of twenty pieces. What do you recommend?
Please layout your grid on tracing paper before arriving at the studio. The tracing can be used to transfer the mounting points for an accurate install.
My work is highly reflective. How do you deal with reflections?
I use polarizing for both camera and lights.
My work is mixed media with video. Is that difficult to shoot?
Yes. I can photograph still images of projected video as part of an artwork or installation. I use controlled lighting and multiple exposures when necessary to accurately capture the projected image along with the other components of the work.
I have multiple components that make up my one piece. Is that the same cost for shooting one piece?
The time needed to install is time taken away from shooting other work. Please inquire about your specific needs.
Could you shoot a portrait of me with my work in my studio?
Portraits are done for a separate fee or even as a separate shoot.
Do you shoot on location, installations or in artist’s studios?
Yes. Please inquire about the price.
What is parking like at your studio?
The Brooklyn Army Terminal has free parking for guests. Please inquire about the details.
Do you have a special price for chashama artists?
Yes. I do.
