Photo Reproductions

The horrible quality of the image I posted last time has been bothering me, so I reshot the image on my front porch. Natural light is great. The image doesn't need any adjustment in Photoshop to be accurate in terms of color, unlike the image I shot using indoor lighting, which doesn't look right even after I adjusted it. Here's the side-by-side comparison:



It still doesn't look as good as it does in real life, but then, that's why you have to see art in real life, not just in pictures.

As the artist, I find it interesting to look at a detail photograph of the painting I'm working on. I'm seeing it differently, so I'm thinking about it differently.
