hand painted, hand photographed

One question I often ask of myself is "how can I keep the integrity of a subject in a commercial environment?" In other words, how can I maintain a product's individuality while giving it a professional feel? Shooting the hand painted pieces from Metolius Ridge Tile posed this quandary. From my home town Eugene, Oregon (by coincidence) Metolius Ridge Tile hand paints individual pieces and mosaic murals on ceramic tile. You will have to decide for yourself if the pictures do the art any justice. I'm just glad to be a part of the process. These images were taken in mixed light at a home in the Hideaway Club.
