SYLVA— SYLVA LOCKE’s paintings are dark, provocative, and evocative and the challenge was to capture this phenomenal young Australian artist’s paintings and their essence, and digitize and optimize them for web, print, and archival outputs.

We spent hours on her building's rooftop on a hot summer afternoon. Thirteen frameless canvases - each over 60"x40" - stacked up against a rampart, one after the other. The sun was shining high and bright which led to some unwanted lens flare and highlights/reflections on the canvases' surfaces...

Retouching the pictures entailed cropping, scaling, free-transforming, and sharpening for optimal accuracy in color reproduction.
