This request is all about one artist capturing the work of another. We're looking for examples of great photographers capturing great works of ink for an upcoming business presentation to be given to highly creative people. No suits, no desks with this audience.
This is a one-time non-commerical use and will not be make available to the public or online. As such, model releases are appreciated but not essential.
From the inspirational images, you can see we're looking for shots that you'd see in leading magazines and websites like Tattoo, Inked, Skin Deep, Suicide Girls, etc. These can be of the artist, work environment portrait or their human canvases portfolios. The tattoos can be in-progress or completed, but please no paint or temp tats. Absolutely no "selfies". The best shots will capture the energy, passion and personality of the artist(s).
For our purposes, portrait orientation will work best if cropped to allow space for copy. We prefer controlled lighting setups to capture the range of tones (HDR ok) and colors in most pieces, but will consider natural available lighting if it is a quality representation of the artwork.
Thanks for your time and happy shooting (or uploading).
