Analog to digital

[stephenwood]

I have a colleague who only shoots film and needs to submit a LOT of her work to

a gallery (or many galleries...I'm getting this info second hand) on disk. I'm

very adept at shooting printed images to be submitted by non-digital folk. My

question is on pricing. I usually do this for friends on the cheap and there is

a major amount of prints I need to shoot here. Does anybody here do this sort of

thing on digital (no slide processing) and can let me in on you pricing per

print? or should I just do it hourly? We're talking about 100 or so prints. Thanks!

Why not just scan the prints? If these are for gallery submission, the gallery doesn't expect 1st generation digital conversions of silver gelatin prints, they just want to see the range and depth of her work.

I agree that prints would best be scanned for digital submission. It would look very odd to the reviewer of the portfolio to see camera info/exif data and see an image that is obviously copied vs being an original image. Be honest and scan them - also better reproduction. For pricing info check online - there are many places that do bulk scanning.

Pricing would depend on 1) size of original prints and the scanner they would require 2) quality/resolution/file type and size of scan desired, and 3) your time

Well, they're at least 11x14 and some 16x20. To scan them and stitch them would be too much work for the short time I have with them.
