We scan or photograph your original artwork to make fine art prints, for creating exhibition catalogues, and for sharing on the web / socials.
Artwork scanning or photography is in many ways an art in itself, and getting your work photographed professionally in our studio will ensure you get the best possible results for your giclée prints.

Their attention to detail is meticulous
"Klein have photographed my paintings, printed fine art editions, drop shipped and framed my work for exhibitions. Their attention to detail in all they offer is meticulous... I would highly recommend Klein for all services involved in artwork reproduction."
Emma C.
Nothing but praise
"We’ve had over twenty artworks imaged by Klein over the last two years. We have nothing but praise for the standard of imaging work produced regardless of size - our biggest project to date being roughly 2 x 1.5m"

All the team at Klein are great, they go above and beyond to make sure my orders are perfect every time.

The Process
STEP ONE
Personal Advice
Our first step is a quick consultation with you and your original artwork, to advise the best photography method and what kind of results you can expect from the photo session. We’ll choose the right lighting for your artwork to get the best reproductions of colour and detail, and removing any unwanted reflections.
We'll also work together to agree on a completion date for your reproductions.
STEP TWO
Photography / Scanning
We’ve put together a high-resolution camera, lens and lighting combination that produces accurate results for artwork reproductions, minimising digital noise and distortion whilst capturing the highest amount of detail possible from your original, right down to the weave and texture of the medium. We use white balance targets and daylight-balanced lighting to achieve consistent levels of colour accuracy.
STEP THREE
Post Production & Proofing
Once we’ve captured the image in a raw format, we post-process each one by eye, looking for areas that need any specific retouching, as well as making advanced colour corrections. Any specific requests can be accommodated during the retouching process; complex alterations are possible and charged at an hourly rate. You will receive a printed proof once the post-processing is complete.
STEP FOUR
Archiving & Printing
We stand by the quality of our photographic reproductions, enabling you to make professional giclée prints from your originals, in editions or one-offs. We’ll keep a copy of your image on file, which means you can order prints once you've signed off your proof, or come back to us at any point in the future to have your prints made. You will also receive a high-resolution copy of your artwork image file.
