MARK BRAYBROOK

FIFTY-FIVE-year-old Mark worked as a professional photographic printer at Colour Processing for 25 years. He recently wrote to us asking for some tips and advice on how to get the most out of his Canon EOS 6D camera and he has also acquired a Sigma 150-600mm f/5-6.3 DG OS HSM Contemporary lens. As he’s based in South Wales, we paired him up for the day with wildlife pro photographer Drew Buckley and they headed off to Skomer Island to practise puffin portraits and fast flight action.

Whether you want to capture a painting like the above, digitise old prints or reproduce any kind of canvas, there's real skill in capturing artwork with your camera. Not only do you need the colours to be accurate, you also need to master the spread, angle and quality of the light to minimise glare and show the work at its best.This painting by the artist Bryan Hanlon has a wonderfully subtle colour palette. To reproduce the painting in print and digital form, it needs to be captured in the right way.
