Events & artwork

Two kinds of photography, one shooter: Joshua Canario covers festivals, benefits, and live events across the Abilene area — and reproduces original artwork digitally so artists can print at full resolution without losing a brushstroke.

Event coverage

( 01 — Photography )

From the quiet in-between moments to the fireworks, event coverage means being everywhere the story is. Organizers get a complete, edited gallery — candids, stage work, details, and crowds — delivered fast, with clearly defined usage rights. Click any frame to view it larger.

Art reproduction

( 02 — Photography )

Original artwork deserves better than a phone photo. Akrivise photographs paintings, drawings, and posters under controlled light, then digitally replicates them — corrected for color, geometry, and detail — so artists can print at higher resolutions and sell reproductions with confidence.

Every brushstroke, kept

Oil, acrylic, watercolor, ink — each medium reflects light differently, and each gets its own capture approach. Every piece is photographed and refined with careful attention to color, proportion, texture, and fine detail.

  • Controlled, even lighting — no glare, no hot spots
  • Color-managed workflow matched to the original
  • Geometry corrected — edges square, proportions true
  • Print-ready files delivered at full resolution

From original to edition

Hand-drawn posters and illustrations carry fine linework that scanning often crushes. High-resolution capture preserves the pen texture and paper tone, so limited-edition prints hold up under close inspection.

  • Large-format originals photographed in sections and stitched
  • Ink density and paper color held true
  • Files sized for poster, giclée, and merchandise printing
  • Typical turnaround of one to four days
