Benefits to expect from professional artwork photography.

Color-accuracy. Professional lights make it possible to achieve accurate color.

Correct-saturation is a subtle and nuanced attribute that pro shots have.

Sharpness: A pro studio camera + lenses will be able to make very sharp images.

Modify and modulate lighting to reduce reflections.

Images correctly sized for portfolio sites and exhibition entries.

Having your work professionally photographed can really improve your sales and let people see just how good your work really is.
