Digital photography

Depending on whether you need documentation or reproduction, there are two levels of image capture available for artwork. Other than the larger file size, the main difference is that if you’re printing at Fidelis, additional tweaks are done to correct the images as close as possible to the originals. Since documentation files are typically being used for social media or websites, they are closely calibrated on screen, but no print testing is included. 

Documentation

$25 flat rate

You receive two files; one TIFF at approx 8″x10″ at 300dpi (20 MB) for publication and one lower resolution JPEG for sharing on social and your website.

Reproduction

$50 Minimum

You receive two files; one TIFF at approx 20″x24″ at 300dpi (120 MB) for fine art printing and one lower resolution JPEG for sharing on social and your website.

Film Scanning

Special Quote

We also scan from traditional slides and negatives. Film can sometimes require extra cleaning for dust and scratches, so pricing can vary accordingly. 

SEE THE DIFFERENCE

Professionally capturing your images at the highest quality is essential for showcasing and selling your work. If you want to show your commitment to excellence and separate yourself from everyone else, the best way to do this is by having your work shot properly with the right camera equipment and lighting. If you’re ready to step up your game, we recommend that you to bring in one of pieces and let us show you the difference.    

IF YOU’RE NOT SURE?

If you’re just starting out and feel overwhelmed, file formats and resolution can be very confusing. Be sure to check out our Frequently Asked Questions page for more details. 

ADDITIONAL CHARGES

As much as we would like to keep the upfront costs of documentation and reproduction down to a minimum, some originals present more challenges than others. This means, they may require additional time for setting up and handling, as well as dust and debris removal.

If your originals are over-sized, have high gloss resin, or are in frames behind glass, there is an extra $25 surcharge per piece.

Not all originals arrive in perfect condition, so  that has not been stored in archival sleeving often inherits fine scratches and includes dust that both show up in the scan. Excessive dust and scratch removal is not included with the price of your scan. If it is discovered that your images need special attention we will contact you with a quote before we proceed.
