Greetings from BC Canada

[janet dwyer]

Hello, I am new to this forum but not to photography....been my career since 1973, oh my that is 50+ years and time now passes so quickly.
My focus is photographing works of art for artists, galleries, museums which has involved various film formats over the years. Now I use digital for commercial work and my own personal photography is scanner based capture. I look forward to exploring Photorio.

Hello, nice to meet you. I am a photography enthusiast from China. I'd like to know what your job is like

Welcome aboard @janet dwyer ! It's very nice indeed to have someone join us with an intimate insight into the world of fine arts.
As to your own work, you mention scanner-based capture - does this mean you photograph on film and then scan, or do you directly capture imagery with just a scanner?

Hi wang quing
at this point I am mostly retired but the biggest asset for the type of work I do is patience and care in handling other people's art. Lighting is very important obviously and picking the right angles to emphasize the important aspects of object being shot....some good tutorials, google 'photographing works of art'.

thank for the welcome koraks.. I do direct capture with a scanner, also referred to as scanography or scannography....here's link to my personal work:

Ah, Salt Spring Island based.
Close in some ways, and distant in others .
You are probably familiar with another local, Alex Waterhouse-Hayward, and his scanography work.

 

[janet dwyer]

only close by float plane yep…and not if its windy or overcast
yes i know of Alex Waterhouse-Hayward, a good reminder to look up his work again, thx

 

[koraks]

Janet, your work is beautiful! I particularly like your use of color, and your images are varied yet at the same time consistent in their aesthetic. Congratulations!

Reminds me of 20x24 Polaroid. Very well done. Looks like it would take physical stamina to assemble and scan a work! My father grew Passion flowers, not an easy thing in Iowa.

Right on, I was very influenced / inspired by Olivia Parker’s stunning polaroids I saw in Rochester as a young photo student, early 70s..
