2D Artwork Documentation

At Carlson Art Photography, we provide museum-quality documentation for 2D artworks including oil paintings, acrylics, and works on paper. Using calibrated lighting and high-resolution capture, we preserve every detail—brushstroke, surface texture, and color accuracy—for portfolios, print, web, and publication.

Whether you’re an artist, curator, or collector, our fine art documentation services in NYC ensure your work is represented with clarity and care.

Sculpture & 3D Artwork Documentation

Sculptural and three-dimensional works demand a nuanced approach to convey form, scale, and materiality. Our sculpture photography includes:

Studio sessions with seamless paper backdrops available at our Harlem studio

Multi-angle documentation for a complete visual reference

Close-up shots to showcase surface details and craftsmanship

Exhibition & Installation Photography

Exhibition documentation goes beyond photographing art—it captures the spatial relationships, curatorial intent, and atmosphere of the show. Our services include:

• Wide shots to show full-gallery layouts and flow
• Individual artwork documentation within the space
• Detail images that highlight texture, lighting, and materials

We work on-location throughout New York City and beyond, with fast turnaround and flexible scheduling.

Whether you’re exhibiting at The Armory Show, Independent, NADA, or another fair, our art fair photography services in NYC and nationwide help you preserve your presentation and support future opportunities.
