Joe Paquet — Paintings Photographed by Mitch Rossow
Joe Paquet has been this studio’s first and longest-running client — 15 years and more than 600 paintings photographed. He is a Saint Paul plein air painter, a foundational presence in Minneapolis classical realism teaching, and the person who pushed me to build a photography practice around artwork. The paintings below are a selection of recent work; the full archive goes considerably deeper.
What Joe says about the work
“I would recommend anyone who needs art photography to avail themselves of Mitch Rossow Photography. We have worked together for many years and in that time he 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. He is courteous, punctual and easy to work with — a true professional.”
— Joe Paquet, Saint Paul
