In this 90-minute private photography session, you will work one-on-one with a BCA professional to photograph your 2- or 3-dimensional artwork in the BCA Lighting Studio.

Work will be professionally lit and photographed and you will receive one high-res TIFF and one JPEG of each image. During the photo session, you will be responsible for moving your artwork around and for unpacking and packing up your artwork. BCA staff will handle the lighting and camera work during the shoot and will apply basic color correction, density and contrast adjustments to each image in BCA’s Digital Lab. You may bring up to 10 unframed pieces no larger than 40"x60" or 10 objects no larger than 24"x24"x24". BCA will provide a digital camera during the session and a flash drive with your images for you to keep.
