I think this is a great idea! This is probably not a core competency in your platform, but I can imagine a lot of artists don’t have a resource to get decent photos taken ( not good camera, or understanding of composition, etc). Would there be some way to partner with local photographers to have them come out using your platform to either connect or maybe even pay for it? For example, $50 for the trip out and to set up if within 30 miles, and then $20 per piece to digitize it with multiple angles and staging?
Either way, good luck with the platform and I’ve passed it along to my wife, who is an artist.
I used to photograph large-pieces for a local gallery. I wouldn't even attempt such a job for $50 + $20/piece.
Photographing large canvasses, color-balancing, processing, & etc. Is not a quick process and requires both patience, experience, and a decent camera/lens/lighting setup.
I've seen artists list their canvasses on websites using iphone photos, and that does nothing to advertise their work.
