Precision Fine-Art Scanning
Art Photography & Digitization
No compromise digital files
We provide high resolution, colour calibrated, custom scanning of your drawings and paintings. Our polarized lighting setup allows us to capture your original artwork with even, neutral, glare free accuracy. We can even work with pieces that are already framed and behind glass, or ones that have been varnished. We hold ourselves to the highest standard of excellence to do justice to the artwork.
Colour-Calibrated Process
end to end colour correct and calibrated
Our whole ecosystem at Quinte Photo Services works together to ensure the image files and reproduction prints are colour correct and true to the original. From the camera taking the image, to the colour calibrated monitor on our work station, to our fine-art giclée printers, we can be trusted to maintain consistency and accuracy.
All Shapes and Sizes
From Sketches to statement pieces
We have the studio space, expertise and professional equipment to accommodate and reproduce artwork of all shapes and sizes. We have accurately digitized artwork the size of a stamp, all the way up to wall-sized paintings.
Any Medium
All artwork can be photographed
Each medium comes with its own fun challenges to photograph correctly to preserve genuine detail and colour. From oil paintings to charcoal drawings to batik to watercolour, we can digitize it all and bring the soul it has into reproduction prints.
Historical Documents
Taken with great care
As documents age, they become more and more fragile. We are set up to properly archive them digitally to either reproduce, or to preserve for generations to come.
Preserving the Details
High Resolution files
We use the latest technology to produce high resolution images of your art, so every little detail that makes it yours is preserved and part of the story. You took the time to add the details, and we take the time to keep them.
Quilt Photography
AWARD WINNING QUILT PHOTOS
Getting good images of large quilts can be challenging but our studio facilitates overhead photography so we can lay your quilt flat and smooth out wrinkles while maintaining all the important piecing and quilting details. Our images have gotten quilts accepted into some of the biggest quilt shows in North America.
Sculptures & 3-D Artwork
Archival museum grade prints
Sculptures and other forms of three dimensional art can be challenging to photograph. We have extensive, award-winning experience and a studio full of the right lighting gear to give your images form and dimension.

Frequently asked Questions
Do I need to removed framed artwork from its frame?
No. We use a polarized lighting system that removes glare on glass so we can photograph your artwork in its frame.
Is there a size limit?
If your artwork can fit through the door we can photograph it.
How long will it take to receive my image files?
Digital files are usually ready within 24hrs.
Will I have to leave my artwork at the studio?
Many art pieces can be photographed while you wait, but any work that is glossy or behind glass will need to be photographed at night so that we can use our polarized lighting system to avoid glare.
