2D Object Photography
2D Object Photography
TownsWeb Archiving’s 2D object photography service uses experienced technicians who are experts in capturing your valuable objects either by taking a series of 2D photographs to create flat 2D images, or through 3D geometric imagery (see 360 object photography), using a turntable to take images at every 10 (or more) degrees.
TownsWeb Archiving can provide TIFF and JPEG files for 2D photography and a series of GIF, MP4 or other industry standard format for your digitised objects.
All content is captured by our highly trained technicians before undergoing a formal quality assurance checking procedure. The final step in the process is the delivery of your electronic files by hard drive.

I can safely say that with TownsWeb I happily recommended them to other companies for similar scanning and digitisation [projects] because I know they can be trusted. They can be relied upon to get the job done… they get it right, first time, every time.
Project Manager
Thanks to the digitisation carried out by TownsWeb, we have been able to extend the reach of our collections, for example by using the high quality images on our website. This makes the material available for those that cannot physically get to our museum due to its rural location, but also globally for research and educational purposes.
Museum Curator & Project Leader
TownsWeb offered us a complete end-to-end service, from scanning and transcription, to web design and content management software. Their work was completed quickly and to a high standard, and we are extremely pleased with the results.
