RYAN KEPLER CONTEMPORARY GLASS

Project Overview: Tulsa glass blowing artist Ryan Kepler reached out to Narrative Structure for professionally lit photos of his recently completed pieces for a new gallery exhibition and sale. Ryan’s exquisite glass art needed precise lighting to showcase its unique features.

Production Details: The photo shoot took place in our Tulsa studio, where Ryan was able to review images in real-time. This collaboration ensured the lighting perfectly highlighted the intricate details of his creations. Unlike most glass art with a polished, reflective finish, Ryan’s pieces featured a stunning matte finish. This allowed our team to experiment with directional and harder lighting from certain angles, while using softer, broader light as the key light to enhance the overall aesthetic.

Final Outcome and Impact: The final images captured the essence and beauty of Ryan’s glass pieces, emphasizing their unique matte finish and intricate craftsmanship. The photos not only met but exceeded Ryan’s expectations, providing him with high-quality visuals that enhanced his gallery exhibition and promotional efforts. Ryan was thrilled with the outcome, noting that the images perfectly highlighted the distinctive qualities of his artwork, contributing to a successful exhibition and sale.
