Dear Colleagues, I have a few questions concerning professional
photography of collections objects.  When photographing for various
purposes including website, database, research, and publication, what is
the standard image size, file format, and resolution that is aimed for
in order to satisfy all these needs?  Should a color card be used?  How
are photographer rates calculated since the objects vary, some may be
straightforward such a chair and others more complicated, for instance a
ceiling or murals.  Finally, how many shots per object are typically
taken. This of course will vary depending on the complexity of the
piece, but on average. 

 

Thank you,

 

Gina Wouters
