★★★★★ 5/5 – Highly Recommend!
“Carlson Art Photography was an absolute pleasure to work with from start to finish. Drew was punctual, organized, and made the entire process smooth and stress-free. The quality of work is truly exceptional and delivered the final images very quickly at a very good price. Will work with them again!”

★★★★★
“It's hard to believe that in NYC it's so hard to find a photographer who knows how to take good pictures of oil paintings or 2D art — I have had no end of trouble finding the right person, until now. Carlson Art Photography did an absolutely incredible job shooting my work — total pro, impressive attention to detail, beautiful photographs. I will absolutely be back.”
— Chantal, NYC Artist
★★★★★
“Photographing artwork requires a particular set of technical skills and patience. Drew at Carlson Art Photography is exceptional. He is extremely detail oriented and focused on the highest quality results. I'm a perfectionist and have worked with some of the best photographers in the business over the past 20 years. I'm 100% satisfied with Drew's work and look forward to working with him again.”
