Reproduction Photography
Copystand provides professional artwork and document reproduction photography for artists, illustrators, galleries, photographers, publishers, archives, public institutions and private collections.
Specialising in high-resolution, colour-accurate photographic reproduction and digitisation, Copystand produces excellent archival photographs of artworks, prints, photographs and documents. These images are suitable for catalogues, illustrated books, websites, exhibitions and library collections.
I understand how important it is for artists and organisations to have accurate, high-quality photographic records of their work. With specialist equipment and experience, you can be confident your work is in safe hands.
Digitisation of
Artwork and Documents
I create high-resolution archival photographs of artworks and documents, providing colour-calibrated 50-megapixel digital images. Using a tethered Canon camera system, a range of lenses, Profoto lighting and Capture One software, I ensure every artwork and document is reproduced with exceptional accuracy.
As an experienced art handler, I understand the importance of treating every artwork and document with care. Each project is approached individually to achieve the best possible reproduction photographs.
Unlike conventional scanning, my photographic digitisation process is suitable for a wide range of artworks, prints, photographs and archival materials.
I keep a secure back-up of your photographs in case you accidentally misplace your files.
I aim to deliver your digital files within 24 hours of photography, offering a fast and reliable service.
I have extensive experience working with artists and galleries, including ModernPrints.co.uk, with whom I share my studio.
EXTRA SERVICES
Giclée Prints
I can organise giclée prints for you on a selection of archival specialist paper. My colour-calibrated set-up ensures that the files
I send to print give you very high quality colour-correct prints.
I work closely with a Fine Art specialist print company and guide you through the print process. I can give advice on editioning if you require it.
Post-Production
and Mock-ups
I am an expert in Adobe Photoshop. Does your artwork needs a crease repaired in post-production or you'd like to try a new
colour way?
Whatever it is, get in touch, I'm up for a challenge!
Do you want to mock-up an exhibition or show your artwork in a range of settings? I can do this for you using software that has a selection of rooms and can mock up the framing too.
Exhibition Design Work
I often work with NHS Lothian Charity, Tonic Arts, to design exhibitions and do unique commissions within Edinburgh's hospitals.
