“I was getting by with iPhone shots and photoshop, but when I saw the first image, I knew I’d leveled up. I couldn’t get over how crisp the work looked.”

Clients

What you get:

  • Solid yellow square.

    Archive Worthy Images

    Full-sized images are 4000 x 6000 pixels and delivered in 3 formats for printing (TIFs), for PDFs and presentations (Full-Sized JPEGS) and optimal for social media and email (Compressed JPEGS).

  • Solid orange square.

    Color Calibration

    I bring a color-calibrated monitor to all photoshoots so clients can preview exposures, colors, angles and crops on site. We make adjustments from your input to bring out the best in your work.

  • Solid purple square.

    Meticulous Post Production

    Every photo undergoes meticulous post-production editing to get the optimal shot. This includes removing distracting elements such as electrical outlets, wall fixtures, glare, and more. 

How It Works

  • After you fill out the contact form, I'll follow up with you within 24 hours to schedule a free consultation (typically 10-15 min). We'll discuss your goals for the shoot and what you want to document. I have a few simple intake questions that will help me prepare a quote. If you wish to proceed, we'll schedule the shoot.

  • As I document the work, you'll be able to preview raw shots on my color-calibrated laptop. You will have direct input on exposures, colors, angles and crops. We make adjustments to ensure what you see is what you get. 

  • After the shoot, your images will undergo meticulous post-production editing. Then voilà–Enjoy your photos!

Radiant Gradient documents artwork, exhibitions, architecture, and portraits, serving artists, galleries, and cultural institutions across New York City, the Hudson Valley, and beyond.

Photography is essential for telling your story and conveying the true character of your work. You’ve invested so much in your projects, your documentation should honor that effort. Whether you're applying for grants, proposing exhibitions, or selling work to clients, great documentation is crucial to communicating your vision clearly and effectively.

We’ve all taken photos that somehow miss the magic of what we see before us—and it can be so frustrating. Our brains naturally edit what we notice, while the camera records everything equally. Details our minds gloss over can suddenly dominate an image. My approach bridges that gap, creating photographs that feel truer to how we actually experience the work. 

Let’s work together to create something radiant!
