Innova Art: another perspective on the bigger picture at Photo Plus Expo

Take flight with Innova Art at Photo Plus Expo (NY, Oct 22-24), where the leading digital media company presents an exhibition of specially commissioned aerial photo-art by Ken Scruggs and David Osborn. Shown for the very first time at Photo Plus Expo, the images present a stunning new perspective on our world.

As the founder and owner of Midwest Aerial, Ohio, Ken Scruggs is one of the world’s leading exponents of aerial photography. With six aircraft, three state-of-the-art DMC II-140s and four Zeiss RMK TOP film cameras, Midwest Aerial leads the field in the airborne acquisition of high-quality digital imagery and photography for clients and business partners in both the private and public sectors.

Scruggs first met the award-winning photographer David Osborn this summer when he attended one of Osborn’s Photoshop workshops. Scruggs wanted to learn new techniques for improving his personal work, and knew he could look to Osborn for expert advice. The British photographer’s 35-year career in photo-journalism and international corporate work, together with his early adoption of digital technology, have made him a highly sought-after tutor and workshop leader, specialising in black and white landscape photography and digital retouching techniques.

In the event, the meeting produced a two-way exchange. “After discussing what Ken did for a living, I could see the fine art potential of the aerial photo images,” says David. “I offered my skills to demonstrate some of the Photoshop processes that could be used to enhance his images into something truly amazing.”

“Aerial photo-art offers another perspective on the world we all share. Thanks to digital imaging technology, matched to the supreme quality of Innova Art’s fine art digital media, it reveals both the wonders of nature, and the scale of some of mankind’s most awe-inspiring feats,” adds Wayne Connelly, Innova Art (USA) Director. “It’s a new way of looking.”

A new way of looking is Innova Art’s specialism. Since it was founded in 2003, the company has won countless awards for innovation. The highly successful FibaPrint® range of digital baryta papers won the TIPA Award for Best Independent Inkjet Paper and four DIMA Awards. Professional Imagemaker magazine described Innova Art’s Photo Canvas Ultra Gloss as “the king of the gloss canvases”. The company’s JetMaster Display Systems won the coveted Innovation Award presented by the Fine Art Trade Guild, UK. New products have extended direct-printed photo-wraps to UV-printers and yet more frame-free display options. In every way, Innova Art brings a truly dynamic perspective to new technology and new industry trends.

Photo Plus Expo is at Javits Convention Center, New York City, 22-24 October 2015. To see the bigger picture, visit Innova Art stand 1235.
