Digital Images Digital Images are essential to every artist who promotes his/her art through galleries and shows. This is a focal point of our business at azadphoto. Our approach assures you’ll have what you need, when you need it. Through our ongoing consultation with jury members at several major shows and galleries, we have developed extremely effective techniques for presenting your work in its best light. We at azadphoto are confident of two things: 1) Quality of digital images can enhance or detract from the impression your art makes when presented to a jury. No matter how beautiful your work is, a poor digital presentation can fail to convince a jury that they need to include your work in their show. On the other hand, showing your work in crisp, clean, nicely composed and well-lit images will show the jury that you are a professional who pays attention to detail and wants to present their work in its ideal form. 2) What we produce for you will show your work in its best light. Our photos will always do justice to your art, and can be relied upon to enhance your professional reputation and heighten interest for any artistic venue. Count on it. We do superior work.

What You Receive I do six to eight single small to medium sized items for digital images on a simple background. Pricing includes one hour of my studio time, adjusted high and low resolution digital images on a CD and Zapp/JAS sized images, ready for you to upload.
Digitals and Zapp/JAS When you order digital images, you receive a CD formatted for any computer. There are at least three folders on the disc. Some folders end with the word tif, the others end with the word web and Zapp. The tif folders contain high resolution 4”x6” 300 dpi images, suitable for printing. These images are excellent for making prints at most labs equipped for digital printing. The images in the web folders are 6”x9” 72 dpi, and are intended for computer viewing and emailing. The Zapp folder contains images sized for you to upload to your Zapp or JAS accounts. Slides Some juried art shows are still using slide submissions. I also offer slides from the digital images which you can order separately. Digital Images | What
You Receive | Shipping Information Shipping Information There are a few bits of information that make this part of our relationship work well. Send all shipments to: AzadPhoto For high value shipments, U.S. Postal Service Registered Mail is the most economical but may take longer because of the required signatures at each shipping point. I find Express Mail with the U.S. Postal Service also reliable, quick, and next in line for economical high value insured items. USPS Priority Mail and the commercial carriers, UPS and FedEx, are also reliable and available. Digital Images | What

Advertising Photography Advertising photography takes care and perfection to a higher level. While digital/jury shots are generally usable in print projects, there can be some differences. The viewing life of a jury slide is 5-10 seconds, not enough time to pick apart either the subject or the photography. A photograph for a card, flyer, or other advertising medium will be scrutinized by many more people and for a longer period of time. This type of photography takes more time on your part and mine to achieve this level of perfection. Because it is more time consuming, it is more expensive. A single shot with several pieces which requires a lot of arranging and type face consideration may take an hour or more. Less complex group shots may take only 15 minutes. Keep in mind that the shots normally used for jury applications may be fully usable for advertising. Digital Images | What

Backgrounds
I have an extensive selection of background materials. I use roll materials
in all the basic neutral colors: blacks, grays, tans, and whites, as
well as some stronger colors. I have several different silk-screened
fades which blend from white to gray/black and to a variety of colors.
These are very fragile and are easily scratched (rendering them unusable)
and are, therefore, sometimes billable if scratching is unavoidable. Digital Images | What
You Receive | Shipping Information Copyright Information The area of intellectual property is the most controversial aspect of
my business. The simple fact is that any photographer whom you pay in
cash or trade owns the rights to the use of the pictures. This is a
matter of law. Each individual photographer determines what usage is
included in the agreed upon price for the service. This can vary from
your receiving a print, slide or digital image and not even having the right to make
a single copy to having unrestricted use.
