Artwork copying

John MacLean Photography, 18/09/11:

Copying artwork for use in publications or to create files for printing high quality posters, postcards, etc. is a technically difficult task which needs great care to obtain the best results. John MacLean Photography offers a high quality digital copying service, creating print-ready files quickly to your specifications. This service is ideal for archiving your art work or for creating portfolio material.

JMP can photograph all kinds of artwork of any size: paintings, drawings, collages, carvings, sculpture, etc., either onsite or (preferably) in my own studio. Daylight-balanced professional studio lighting ensures consistently accurate, evenly lit copies of work. Works behind glass, e.g. framed paintings, can be photographed totally free of reflections, without having to unframe the work.

Please contact me for further details and to see examples of my work.
 

Custom picture mounting and framing

John MacLean Photography, 08/09/11:

Below is the 24 foot long custom-made framing bench at Taigh an Tàillear in Upper Coll: this is where I mount and frame the photos available at the stockists listed at the bottom of this page.

All frames are cut and assembled by hand and the finished products are supplied ready to hang (or ready to frame if you buy a mounted print and want to use your own frame). A title/inscription plate can also be added to any photo to be mounted/framed, making them ideal for gifts and presentations. Framed prints can also be sent by post, with or without glass.

I use a variety of mouldings, a few of which are shown above: gold, silver, narrow black rims and several medium to dark wood veneer finishes such as beech and walnut. The most popular are lighter wood mouldings, e.g. pine, ash and light oak, which suit modern decor perfectly. Bare wood mouldings are also a popular choice and can be stained or finished simply with several coats of fine wax to bring out the natural beauty of the wood.
Other services available include framing of objects e.g. medals, and 3-D ‘float mounting’ and box framing of artwork.
