"LIGHTING WITH AN ACCENT"

Here are some great lighting tips from our friend and client, Gabriel Alonso:
 
When I started to get serious about learning lighting techniques, there were never enough ways and lighting devices to incorporate into a lighting scheme. I would use every light available in the studio. It took a while to learn how they interact and to use them properly.


USING THRESHOLD FOR COLOR UNDERSTANDING

In this installment, we go through an entirely new evolution and use the Threshold Adjustment Layer to find your shadow and highlight points to use point-click calibration of color. It’s the last of three videos designed to use different tools in Photoshop to create great color.


PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: NEW STYRENE MOUNTING

We are very pleased to announce that we have upgraded the Styrene mounts that we are using.

The new material is thicker that the previous product. It is .80 or about 1/8" thick and is smooth white.  We stock all sizes from 4x5 through 30x40.  The thickness is very similar to the 4X artboard that we use.

Our High Impact Styrene offers the advantage of being resistant to moisture and is less prone to bowing that sometimes occurs with artboard.  You can select Sytrene as a mounting option in our ordering systems.


PRODUCT SPOTLIGHT: IMAGE BOXES

Our world-class Image Boxes are at the pinnacle of photographic presentation products. They are designed to help you sell more prints and make a statement about your work.

Made from a solid wood construction that has been sanded & painted more than 10 times to be mirror finished in either Polar White or Rich Black colors. The insides are black plush felt lined and feature a lift out ribbon to assist with the removal of our professional Image Art Mats or bevel board mounts

The highlight is the recessed glass window lid which allows for the top image to be showcased. The base of the box is also felt lined to prevent scratching surfaces that it’s placed on. The box is deep enough to hold up to 20 Image Art Mats but can be configured in many ways to suit your pre designed packages or your client’s choice, including Fine Art Watercolor prints.  Prints are also available on gold, silver or black bevel boards with textured lustre spray. 

An optional easel to display one of the prints is also available.
