Museum Tower Book of Artwork, Part 2

Slip/Strike by Nathan Green. 48x72", mixed media.
As promised in my previous post ( http://jasonjones-photo.blogspot.com/2016/08/museum-tower-dallas-book-of-art.html ), here are a few more selections from the book of artwork housed in Museum Tower. I opted not to cut pages out of one copy, because they will not fit on a standard office scanner anyway. The text and insets make the book for sure, but the images stand on their own as well in this context. Here is a selection of my favorite pieces - to shoot, and overall in the project.

Museum Tower Book of Artwork

Museum Tower, Dallas - Book of Art throughout common areas

  I think I can safely speak for most self employed creatives, who are not full time bloggers, or social media managers, that we are all behind on blogging... I am probably more behind than most, especially when it comes to tear sheets / published material. I have so much work published each year I could never post it all, and that's ok. Much of it is just corporate head shots, stock imagery, real estate listings and interiors that are nice, but not necessarily portfolio worthy. Not to discredit those things at all, as they make the world go around, and are critical to the success of any company engaged in business beyond selling flowers on the street corner of a trendy nightlife area on a Saturday night.

  I recently received my copies of a book I photographed. It is a project I am particularly proud of, that turned out VERY well. I was hired to photograph the artwork in all the common areas of Dallas' Museum Tower. A high profile, luxury residence tower that is adjacent to some of the best attractions in Dallas.  Klyde Warren Park, The Dallas Arts District, and the Dallas Museum of Art are all just feet away. The designers in charge of this project had tall shoes to fill, and they did so with the utmost class, and taste. 5 pages feature the images taken by another photographer showing the architecture of the tower when it was built, and the other 42 pages are solely my work, photographs of the art inside. I was excited to participate in this project, but seeing it in print, finalized, and bound, is amazing.

  I will apologize now for the mediocre iPhone photos. I mean, the cobbler's kids don't have shoes do they? I think the stand alone images from my hard drive are not as appealing for this post as are images in the context of the book, with copy and insets. So heres a couple of samples, and I promise to update with better images shortly.
