Big printing and mounting job for @risdmuseum 🖼️ #risd #mounting #framing #printing

Today's spotlight is on @mingwebber ❤️ "I use time-based media to access the metaphysical and sublime in the everyday. I wish to evoke the feeling of hope and transcendence by capturing how flashes of spiritual experience may feel— images of the universe revealed within ice fragments and puddles, videos with sound hinting at the creation of galaxies and the motion of stars." “I have been using iolabs to print my large size galaxy/cosmos inspired black and white images. My go-to choice of paper has been the Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper because of its uniqueness of rendering highlights into this lovely shade of silver, and it helps make a strong print statement of something shimmering in this big dark space, which is really what my work is predominantly about,: my connection with this vast infinite space of the universe. I am inspired by the harmony of nature and beautiful light.” Pinhole photographer Puiming Webber uses iolabs to print on our Hahnemühle Photo Rag Metallic paper, a high-gloss premium inkjet paper with a unique metallic effect with impressive printing results with bold colours, deep black and the perfect reproduction of color and detail.

Today's feature is Angelo Janey! @gallery.acj @glu.factory Angelo Janey is a painter and visual artist whose style of art is based on sharing his ideas of culture and representation. He explores the idea of sharing his thoughts and voice on this through his paintings. He mainly uses acrylic paint and watercolor in his daily practice. His art is a love letter to the city. Not only his city, but cities all over; it’s trains, corner stores, and the people who move through its rhythm. As an artist he likes to preserve moments, honor legacy, and reflect pride and struggle from his perspective. Starting conversation through the canvas about belonging, memory, and the beauty in the details of daily life. Through art, his goal is to hold space for stories that matter. Every time he paints, he learns something new about his practice and about himself as well. Born in Boston, Massachusetts and currently practicing art in Providence, RI at his studio, GluFactory, which is within the Nicholson File art Studios. “One of the first paintings I released was a view of the Boston landscape from the perspective of a person sitting on the MBTA train looking out of the window. iolabs always does a great job at color grading, scanning, and printing my original paintings. After the success of that first print, they’ve been helping me ever since. Other notable paintings I’ve scanned with them as a portrait of a young man with a colorful background and a pot of flowers as well as a beautiful lighthouse and Martha’s Vineyard that I painted after one of my frequent trips there.” Angelo paints with acrylic and water color, blending different mediums within his paints making it easy to blend multiple colors on stretched canvas. He usually starts his painting process with thoughtful research of ideals and concepts of what he likes and what grabs his intention. The subject matter he chooses to paint is related to his travels, sports, landscapes/cityscapes, and portraits but ultimately creating with the intention of showcasing a positive light on people of color and how that can inspire younger and older people of all backgrounds. Thanks for reading!

Happy Client Spotlight Friday! Today we're featuring Clara Delgado, MFA graduate from @risdphto Clara Delgado is an artist based in Providence, Rhode Island. Her work examines themes of loss, free will, and questions moral responsibility. She holds a BFA in Two-Dimensional Art from Bowling Green State University and an MFA in Photography from the Rhode Island School of Design. “The work questions the concept of free will; therefore, one’s moral responsibility to the community in which they operate and to the greater world. If we have free will, what part do we hold in devestation? If we do not, who does? Through large-format photographs, I ask these questions. My work is inspired by films, fine art, and national and world politics.” Photographer Clara Delgado uses iolabs to print on our Cnason Infinity Platine Fibre Rag paper, which is known for its similar surface to a gelatin silver print. This museum grade paper has a true pure white tone without using optical brighteners that are known to affect the longevity of digitally produced images.

Happy Friday! Today we're spotlighting Andrew Stephen @pvdpinholephotography 📸 Before we start, do you know what a pinhole camera is? A pinhole camera is the simplest form of camera, consisting of a light-proof box with a tiny hole (the pinhole) on one side and photographic film or sensors on the opposite side. It works without a lens, allowing light to pass through the tiny aperture to form an inverted, or upside-down, image. Check out his page @pvdpinholephotography to see more. After building small wood boats (11-20 feet) for about 10 years, Andrew Stephen needed to find more contained woodworking projects that he could do in his basement. Subsequently, he became interested in making pinhole cameras, and now has 11 different sizes. “I was not interested much in digital photography or taking a lot of pictures so the slow technique of pinhole photography seemed like a good fit. Many times when I take a walk with one of my cameras I do not even take a single picture. Pinhole photography makes travel more interesting, as often when I am setting up one of these colorful cameras someone stops to chat about their experience as a child doing pinhole. A few years ago during the Friends of India Point photography contest I learned about IO Labs. Now I get everything printed there as the quality and service is unmatched. I print photos for small shows and for gifts mostly but would like to get into making postcards. Usually I go for Epson Semi Matte or one of the textured papers. The selection at IO labs and the ability to customize work is very unique. I will never send out for Adorama prints again!” Pinhole photographer Andrew Stephen uses iolabs to experiment with printing his work on our various papers, for exhibitions and more.
