Lighting & Shooting Space
Achieving accurate color translation from real-life artwork to digital images and physical prints, a calibrated system is essential. One of the key components in this process is the lighting and the environment in which the artwork is photographed. The color temperature of visible light, measured on the Kelvin scale from 1000 to 10,000K affects its appearance; lower temperatures yield warmer yellow orange hues, while higher temperatures produce bluish tones. The ideal light for capturing art falls between 5000-5200K, known as daylight temperature. This temperature is crucial for accurate color representation, as mixing light with the canvas surface is akin to blending paints. For instance, yellow light on a blue surface can create a greener hue, so capturing the artwork under white light is necessary for true color accuracy.The shooting environment is equally important. Light travels at 299,792,458 m/s, meaning that during a one-second exposure, light waves…
