FAQ about Arts Capture's high-resolution photography and video services

Arts Capture creates high-resolution photography of artworks, sculptures, rare objects and artefacts, negatives, and valued documents, as well as installation views. We can also shoot interiors with installations, booths at art fairs, public art, and more.

Arts Capture provides services for institutions, galleries, archives, artists, and collectors which are used for collection conservation, research and education, catalogue raisonné, risk management, and online and print publication. Our services enable clients to showcase highly detailed art objects and collections to wider audiences while developing potential new revenue streams from their art objects.

Multi-shot capture is a high-resolution photography technology that involves moving the camera sensor with great precision, enabling the camera to capture more colour information and data than single-shot digital photography. In multi-shot photography, up to 8 single frames are captured with slight shifts (less than a pixel width) of the sensor between each image. These single images are then combined into one with a very high resolution (187 MP), and a normal-sized DNG image (47 MP) is also saved.

The benefits of this method include incredibly accurate colour data for each pixel and no moiré interference, all while maintaining a resolution of 100 MP. We recommend this technology when clients need images of maximum size and resolution or for macro shots requiring maximum detail of the object.

The Linhof M 679 CS camera was designed for high-end digital studio photography. The use of this camera with Universal Rapid Change Adapter Slides, modern new digital lenses, and the Phase One P65+ digital back (60 MP, 16-bit, RGB) allows us to “divide” the object into 2 or more parts, shoot each part, and then combine all the parts in post-production to create a high-resolution image of up to 200 MP without any distortion.

This technique is indispensable when shooting large objects in small spaces (such as gallery booths at art fairs or office rooms) or when objects are too tall or wide. This technique is also applied to shots of exhibition spaces, as it allows for the reduction of perspective distortions and preserves the proportions of art objects, maintaining a view similar to what we see with our eyes.

We use Broncolor flashlights (with ECTC technology that maintains constant colour temperature) and Profoto flashlights (Flash to Flash colour precision, ±50 °K) and continuous LED lights Nanlite (CRI 96).

Yes, we can create a variety of video content for presentations and other usages.

Depending on the number of images and file sizes, we transfer files to our clients in several secure and convenient formats: digital downloads (cloud storage), flash drive, or portable solid-state hard drive. We arrange for shipping and track your delivery.

Yes. We understand that transportation and insurance costs to deliver certain objects to the photographic studio can be very high. Quite often, it is difficult or undesirable to move objects from the exhibition place. Almost always, we find a solution and organise a shooting space at the client’s location. All necessary details are discussed with the client before the shooting.
