Wearable Art by Mary Lou Christie

   I’m Kelly Langley with Around The Bend Studio and I am a photographer based in Tulsa, Oklahoma.  Like many of you, I rely on the competitive world of juried art shows to sell my work.  I understand the time and effort that are required to develop a cohesive, professional presentation.  When the jurors screen our applications, they are limited in the amount of time they have to view the photographs for each entry and are therefore left with only an “impression” of our artwork.  Because of this, the quality of the presentation can often be the deciding factor in acceptance or rejection of the application.  That’s where I can help you stand out from the crowd by creating high-quality, digital photographs of your artwork that meet today’s presentation standards including:

• accurate color • professional composition • proper studio lighting • consistent background • sharp focus • uniform sizing                                                        

As a fellow artist, I understand that resources are often limited. That is why I have tried to make my services as budget-friendly as possible.  And, unlike the large-volume photographic service companies that assign your artwork to the next available associate, you will be working directly with me. . . always! Your satisfaction, recommendation, and return business are my highest priorities.  Whether you are applying to shows, preparing publicity photos, or creating your own e-commerce site, I can help you present your artwork in the best of all possible lights.
