Color Management Professional

As an experienced color management professional, I have a deep understanding of how to correct and adjust colors in artwork photography. My color vision has been independently verified as perfect, which allows me to confidently create visually stunning images that accurately represent the original artwork.

In addition to my technical expertise, I have also had the opportunity to work with some of the top artists in the country. This has given me valuable experience in collaborating with creative professionals and understanding their specific needs and preferences when it comes to color correction.

Professional Equipment and Focused Skill Set

To ensure the highest quality results, I use professional-grade Nikon equipment and custom studio lighting in my work. I have also permenant specialized system specifically for photographing paintings, This allows me to capture every nuance and detail of the original artwork.

As a graphic design professional, throughout my career I have worked as a color separator, production artist, and designer. I’ve worked with many printers, printing technologies and color management systems. I grew up in a family print shop, giving me a knowledge of printing history well beyond my years.

I hold a Bachelor of Science degree in art, and I had the opportunity to study landscape painting with the renowned artist Joe Paquet. This foundation in the fine arts has given me a unique perspective and appreciation for the importance of accurate color representation in artwork photography.

Shipping Paintings to Mitch Rossow Artwork Photography

If you are not in the Minneapolis Metro area and would like me to photograph your paintings you can ship them to me. I do not travel to photograph paintings. My studio is configured exclusively for photographing artwork. The setup is complicated and engineered for precision alignment. Also, the entire studio is monochrome to prevent color reflections.

  • It is my experience that UPS is the best shipper, they handle the packages carefully and deliver them to me most responsibly.
  • Get 2 shipping labels. One for sending it to me and a return label. Include the return label in the package. Once the artwork is photographed, I will remove the original shipping labels and apply the return label then drop it off at the UPS Store.
  • Tell me in advance how many pieces and their sizes, I will send you an invoice so that you can include payment in the package as well.
  • Schedule with me before you ship so I know when it is coming.
  • Send me the tracking number.
  • Pack you artwork securely. Damage in shipping is your or the shipper’s responsibility.
  • For internal packing, be aware that I need to repack your paintings. Foam pieces, foam core  and cardboard are preferred.
  • Don’t use gaff tape, duct tape, packaging tape or other aggressive tapes. I prefer blue masking tape or something similar because if the tape comes in contact with the artwork it won’t damage it.
