Filament Sculpture
This a fun sculpture I photographed for a NH artist Irene K. Miller. It is knitted from mono filament in sections and stitched together. Interesting, a little tricky. Benefited from the back lighting, kind of like a hair light for those people types.

Larry Rivers Paintings
Big Paintings!
Officially the largest paintings I’ve photographed on location. This project was to photograph 3 Larry Rivers’ paintings pulled out of storage, temporarily unrolled and stretched for conservation. The largest of the group was 10ft. high by 15ft. long.
Photography was done on location in the closed Trumbull gallery at the Yale University Art Gallery. We had just enough room for the lights. Strobe lighting allowed me to circumvent the skylights overhead. The second image here shows the back of my camera with an image stitching attachment. Each painting was photographed in three incrementally shifted frames stitched together in post production.

Hello
The blogging starts.
When time allows or my interest peaks I will post here recent projects and some shoot production stills.
I hope the behind the scene glimpses give a better breadth and depth to what I do and can provide as a photographer.
Thanks,
Christopher Gardner
