The first time I saw one of Andre's originals, I thought he was a photographer.  He draws portraits in a photographic style that is very subtle.  There's depth-of-field, motion blur, specular highlights, and other things happening on these drawings that really warrant them a second look.   Don't know how he does it, but I enjoy them to no end.  

We do quite a bit of art duplication and scanning.  Artists like Andre Walker can then sell their work more affordably than just selling the originals.  We are proud to host on this website Andre's amazing drawings.  Available in prints, framed prints, and stretched canvases.

Here's an interesting framing job.  A piece of papyrus is sandwiched between two panes of acrylic.  Since light now reaches the back of the papyrus, it becomes translucent, and you can see all the details inherent in the material.

Thank you so much Mark for allowing me to take his portrait.  It is so refreshing when the client is looking for one or two images, as opposed to: "how many pictures will I get?"

Technical:
This was taken without flash, only with available light.  A cellphone's torch on the book is lighting the beard (yes, that is Mark's real beard).  Camera on a tripod, with remote shutter.  About 1/2 second exposure at f8, and ISO 100.  About thirty minutes to set the scene, adjust the props and compose.  Then setup the camera, and take two or three images, just to be safe.  That leaves about fifteen minutes for a coffee, and some great conversation with Mark.

So I just had an email today from a student who wanted to 'apprentice' at a photography studio.  This is a long way from what he would have been expecting.

Always so nice to get feedback.  This Toronto Landmarks canvas was sold through ART ONE gallery, at First Canadian Place, Toronto.

after !

 Phew...  glad to get back to a normal routine after the holidays.  Always knew that pictures make good Christmas gifts. 

We needed to re-stock our frames.  What happens is we'll order a length, or lengths of moulding for a custom framing job.  Then we're always left with excess moulding.  So we'll make a one-off frame.  The pricing of these frames is incredible, for the quality of frame you're getting.  We have 5X7, 8X10, 11X14, and 16X20 sizes in stock.  There's always a treasure to be found.

This will be a quick place to keep you informed of what's happening here at Riveros Photography.  Yes, once in a while interesting things do happen.  Expect a couple of short blog entries per week.
