I produce my limited edition fine art prints on Epson Ultrasmooth paper
using Epson archival inks which have amazingly long life (100 years plus).
Typically referred to as "Giclee" prints, as are many art reproductions and
photographic prints, they are high quality, photographic ink jet prints. This
term is misunderstood by many and has become universally accepted as a lasting,
beautiful medium.
The Epson 9800 inkjet printer I print with allows me to produce images on 44"
wide, fine art papers (and canvases) of unlimited length. While my images are
available as small as ten inches, they look best at larger sizes and some are
available up to ten feet on the long dimension .

BART HARRIS
ARTIST STATEMENT
I have been a professional photographer since the age of 13,
when I was commissioned by various friends’ parents to photograph their
families. I had my first legitimate exhibition at the age of 17 and sold my
first photograph to Leo Burnett Advertising at 18. At 23 I formed Bart Harris
Photography, Inc. and since then have collected almost every award for both
still and film (TV commercials) photography in advertising.
Through the years I worked on many famous advertising campaigns such as Virginia
Slims, Walter Payton’s Wheaties Box, Michael Jordan for Gatorade, Miller Light
Beer’s sports celebrities (Dick Butkis, Marv Throneberry, Joe Frazier and more),
John Madden’s Ace Hardware campaign, Spuds MacKenzie for Bud Light and many
more.
Eleven years ago, I became the first “people photographer” in advertising to
shoot 100% digitally. Shortly after this I began beta testing for Eastman Kodak
and advising various advertising agencies about technical aspects of working
with digital files.
In late 2003, I was hired by 20th Century Fox to produce digital images of
Chicago that were initially to be used as guides for digitally constructed
Chicago scenes. A number of those photographs became backgrounds in the feature
film I Robot. These images led me to continue photographing Chicago and creating
limited edition, fine-art photographic prints. I still pursue my advertising
photography career and have created the first ever photographic comic strip
(which can be seen on line in the Tribune’s sports section:
http:chicagosports.com . Please look for “Around The Corner”, my
comic strip’s name.

NEW CITY

1/3/2006 Tip
of the Week A commercial photographer bound to fulfill the dictates of his clients, Bart Harris was frustrated that he could not capture the full beauty of the scene that he would perceive in his mind's eye in a print--until he discovered the computer. It is dangerous to apply digital manipulation to improving upon a perfectly good straight shot, as Harris does. He succeeds best when we would not suspect digital intervention, as in his exuberantly lush color shot of concrete planters along South Michigan Avenue brimming with densely sprouting floral vegetation, transporting us to our sweet home's transient tropics. Under Harris's ministrations, the world around us perfected is not much different from what it normally looks like in a magazine, except that things pop out more--a mild yet pleasurable acid trip. |
