Photographic Documentation
Professional high-resolution photography that creates permanent, archival-quality records of your stained glass windows.
A Permanent Visual Record of Your Windows
Your stained glass windows are irreplaceable works of art. Professional photographic documentation creates a permanent record of their current condition — invaluable for insurance, preservation planning, and historical archives.
NSGCG uses specialized techniques including both reflected and transmitted light photography to capture details invisible to the casual eye — paint quality, glass textures, lead lines, and structural conditions.
Our Documentation Process
High-Resolution Digital Imaging
Professional-grade equipment captures every detail at resolutions suitable for large-format printing, zoomed analysis, and archival storage.
Reflected & Transmitted Light
Dual-technique photography reveals both the exterior surface condition and the interior light-play that makes stained glass unique.
Archival-Quality Standards
Images are processed and stored in formats designed for long-term preservation — ensuring your records remain accessible for decades.
Before & After Records
When paired with restoration projects, our documentation provides compelling before-and-after evidence of preservation outcomes.
