No artwork is complete until it is documented.

Photographing art is just writing an artist statement with images.

A good document should always be about the artist and the art, not the photographer.

Good documentation is a love letter.

Color is an event.

All art is meaningful with the right framing.

Art is generally hung sixty inches above the ground from the center of the work. The camera should be at the same height.

When in doubt, stand as far away as possible and zoom in.

You don’t need a ladder to document your work. The camera is just fine.

Art is not to be valued by its industrial efficiency — every artwork takes the artist’s lifetime to materialise.
