In addition we could probably shoot 3 to 7 2d pieces during the same hour session if your pieces are not oversized and need only simple lighting. We accept 2D pieces on a drop-off basis for your convenience. Turn around time for this service varies with our workload. If feasible, remove frames and protective coverings from 2D pieces before you bring them in to be photographed. They will photograph easier and turn out better if we do not have to shoot through glass or mylar.
Frames often add undesirable reflections as hot spots.
13 Paintings that are still wet in places often produce undesirable reflections that may not be able to be eliminated in photos. 14 Several 2D pieces of the same dimensions can be photographed a lot faster than pieces of mixed sizes because we don't have to reposition the camera after every shot. In general 3D items take longer than 2D items to photograph. For example one photo of a simple 3D piece could take 2 to 15 minutes to set up and shoot and a 2D piece might only take 1 to 5 minutes. 16 Complex 3D photos involving several pieces and props can take up to 30 minutes or more to set up and shoot.
