Underwater Paintings

I was asked to photograph some large underwater canvas paintings for possible reproduction for a commercial customer, they were around 2 meters long and about a meter wide.

The artist is a gentleman called Gary Davis, his paintings are quite amazing, such wonderful rich and vibrant colour's, he has a fantastic imagination and his work is absolutely brilliant.

To do the images justice I had to set up a frame to allow me to photograph from directly above the paintings to keep all lines and proportions correct, then i lit it so that there were no shadows or highlights and the colour reproduction was spot on. This is one of the advantages of having a working studio and the experience of over 25 years in this industry. This is the set up i built.
