Artwork Photographer, Oil Painting Photography

Artwork photographer Mitch Rossow specializes in oil painting photography for artists, galleries and collectors. Over 10 years experience photographing artwork for top oil painters. High quality, great service, quick turnaround, affordable pricing.

Mitch Rossow produces high resolution artwork photography. Suitable for use on websites, social media, email, magazine articles, ads or prints. The images are also color corrected with even lighting across the entire surface. He uses the latest digital technology and specifically professional equipment for accurate reproduction.

As an artist, it is especially crucial to have good images of your work for marketing & press. Also to share with existing collectors and as a record for yourself. After all, once you sell a piece, it is no longer available to inform you about your progress or for marketing & press.

As a collector, images of the works you hold are firstly for insurance purposes. Additionally they can aid you in sharing works with institutions and individuals.

Though oil painting photography makes up the majority of my work, I also photograph watercolors, acrylics, drawings and other 2-dimensional art. Although oil paintings are the most difficult to photograph because of the glare; the lighting process, accurate color correction and high resolution images benefit the reproduction of all mediums.

Why Having an Artwork Photographer Matters

Have you ever been confused by a painting that you saw in person because it looked different than the photo?

Generally, your artwork’s ‘first impression’ won’t be made in person, it will be with a photograph.

Over the past 10 years as a professional artwork photographer, I’ve developed and refined a proprietary system to affordably and accurately capture all the details, color and nuances of your artwork.

My unique photographic technique lets your painting ‘be itself’ so it can make an authentic introduction to your fans & buyers.

The person who falls in love with the photo I create of your painting will consequently have their expectations met by your artwork in person.

And finally, after it has found its new home, you will always have a photograph to remember it by.

I've tried to photograph my own work for years, and it never worked well. I couldn't get the painting square, neither the color nor the detail could be captured properly, and they were barely usable for my portfolio and website.

I've also used professional scans of my paintings. While these turned out better than my personal photographs, details were often lost, the color wasn't always accurate, and I had issues with banding when producing prints.

I've used several professional photographers that specialize in art documentation, including at local museums. None have come close to capturing the amount of detail and accuracy that Mitch achieves with his photographs.

Artists need high quality images of their work for so many things. Portfolios, websites, social media, submitting to grants and juried competitions, and more. Mitch is incredibly knowledgable about what it takes to properly document work, he is easy to get ahold of and schedule time with, and his turnaround time can't be beat. Absolutely, Mitch is the person you want to photograph your paintings!

I would recommend anyone who needs art photography to avail themselves of Mitch Rossow Photography. We have worked together for 10 years and in that time has photographed and catalogued all my paintings besides managing all my website duties.

He believes in quality and craft.

Over the years he has refined his process to such an extent that the usual problems of glare and delicate color balance are no longer an issue.

For me personally his ability to hit subtle neutral tones and extremely nuanced tonal transitions make him the only choice to work with. Personally he is a courteous, punctual and easy to work with – a true professional.

I am an oil painter working in the contemporary style of expressive realism. Mitch Rossow has been my photographer for a few years now, and I have nothing but glowing words to describe what it is like to work with him. His photos have captured accurately the gamut of color palettes that I use, whether the subject is an 8x10” Plein Air flower study, the subtle gradations in 30x40” sunrises over the ocean, or large 4x6’ studio paintings of Italian villages and vistas...

Hey Mitch, just wanted to let you know that I had that same large hats painting photographed by another photographer that you had done for me because I wanted to compare the results.

Yours is by far the better one.

The old method I had been relying on of going from transparency first and then to a scan is really pretty inferior now that I see them side by side.

Wish I'd had you photographing my works these past many years. Oh well, live and learn. Thanks!
