I am honored that my fashion portrait was selected as the People’s Choice Award Winner in the ArtPop Street Gallery 2019 Billboard Competition in my area. So what does that mean? Well - there is this awesome organization called Art Pop Street Gallery whose mission is to promote local artists' work and make art accessible to communities through available media space.
ArtPop Street Gallery (www.artpopstre...) was founded by Wendy Hickey in Charlotte, NC, back in 2014. In the years since, she has grown the program to include competitions in 14 cities across the United States. Wendy partners with billboard advertising companies like Adams Outdoor Advertising, who is hosting my 48’ wide billboard - and these companies graciously donate unsold advertising space to host the winning billboards - turning roads, highways and thoroughfares into opportunities for artistic appreciation. The winning artwork can be seen on billboards, buses, news racks, and airports.
People falsely assume that you need extremely large files and tons of megapixels to print a photo on a billboard, and they very falsely assume that once the photo is printed on the billboard that it looks really blurry up close and then really sharp when you are a hundred of yards away - BOTH assumptions are VERY wrong. Printing technology has come a long way, and as you have heard me say MANY times - megapixels are highly over-rated. I had images printed on billboards 16 years ago taken with a 2.7mp Nikon D1 that produced an image that was only 2,000 pixels wide.
The shot was made with my Olympus E-M1 Mark II and the M. Zuiko 45mm f/1.2 PRO lens, a 90mm full frame equivalent. The ISO was 200, which is the base ISO for the Mark II, the shutter speed was 1/250th of a second, and the aperture was set at f/8.
