Pls help me with photography homework?
If a large art gallery has hired me to photograph every individual framed painting in the gallery for an upcoming exhibition. They require colour accurate copies of the artwork for use in a cataloger. (The below is my answer....what do you all think????)

I imagine there will be vary sizes of paintings so I will take these follow things:
• 50mm. lens for usual sizes at the usual height.
• 90mm. Tilt-Shift lens for the large to extremely large paintings that are hanging up really high so I could still taking pictures from the ground floor level.
• 100mm. macro lens for the extremely small ones
• Polarizing Filter to eliminate the reflectve light
• Tripod to keep camera still to maximize the work of the lens preferment.
• Two quick cycle portable flash units made specifically for my cameras
. Two small format cameras, one as main and another as back up.

If I were doing this then the kit I would be taking is very different.



Think about this: The subjects you are photographing are stationary so would a different type of lighting be more applicable. Is a 90mm TS lens the bast way to shoot large subjects that are hung on high walls? Think about the ideals.

Colour accurate!

The lighting in the gallery gives the best color, as they are designed for it.

One option would be to use the tripod and not use the flash.

The fast lens that you are talking about would help.

I would bring a tripod, an f/1.4 normal/standard lens, table large and stable enough for me and the tripod to stand on and a small stool for me to step on and off the table.
