Capturing ART and a familiar face

Out of the blue I received a call from an exclusive London gallery, Aleph Contemporary (situated at Piccadilly no less), asking about my experience and equipment. Fortunately they felt I was up to their standards and we booked in the shoot, but I was in the dark about who the local artist was (although I was mentally shortlisting who it could be).

So imagine my surprise when it turned out to be my former neighbour (across the corridor at my studio) and good pal Gordon Dalton – who was equally amused his gallery had found me to shoot his work.

Photographing fine art is something I have done a fair amount of over the years and colour is always of huge importance, I use a Colour Checker Passport to guarantee scientifically accurate colour and with bright even light the paintings came across just as Gordon wanted.

  • What our clients say…

    Cal has carried out many assignments for Cleveland Technologies Group. We know what we want to shoot but often not how best to present the product. This is where Cal comes in to his own – he can follow direction but also he can make sound judgements about how to give the shot the individuality which sets it apart from other similar images and therefore give it added impact.His photography has featured in many of our press releases, advertisements and product catalogues and I would not hesitate to recommend his services to others.

  • WHAT OUR CLIENTS SAY…

    I have had the privilege of working with Cal on a number of projects over the past three years. He is creatively excellent and shows real passion for his work. He is able to work with pupils and people of all ages, ensuring a professional yet relaxed atmosphere. Cal really takes the time to get to know you; your brief, organisation, marketing objectives, etc. and adds significant value above and beyond expectations. His results and images are nothing short of outstanding and come highly recommended.
