Why Our Captures Are Better
-
Amazing 400MP Resolution
Our Hasselblad H6D-400 camera has the largest sensor available in a stationary camera, allowing us to capture very large pieces from a single vantage. Consistent lighting and precise geometry results in true-to-life images, unlike other studios that stitch together multiple shots from different positions.
-
Controlled Studio Conditions
Our state of the art Broncolor lighting system brings over 60 years of Swiss engineering to the task. These powerful and precise strobes enable us to capture your work in stunning detail, with unrivaled color and tonal accuracy. We have flexibility to capture irregular and reflective surfaces, and to photograph framed works with ease.
-
Meticulous Postproduction
Drawing on years of museum experience and fine art education, our capture technicians bring their A-game to every job. Files delivered in 16bit ProPhoto RGB give you a huge color output gamut, for all your project needs.
