History
Bart Kelsey has specialised in the field of lenticular 3D and motion printing since 2002.
Bart’s interest in 3D lenticular printing was piqued when still an Orthoptics student in the late 80’s when using such prints in the clinical assessment of stereoscopic (3D) perception.
By the beginning of the 90’s he was a keen amateur 3D photographer and member of the Victorian 3D Society. By the end of the decade he had graduated from RMIT University in Melbourne with a Bachelor of Applied Science in Photography.
After a spell in a hospital photography department, Bart completed an honours year focussing on 3D photography for commercial lenticular print. He was motivated by the emerging opportunities in 3D visualisation in the fields of photography, cinematography, science, entertainment and print communication.
In 2002, Bart began trading as a lenticular printing consultant specialising in 3D photography, lenticular prepress and lenticular printing. Customers included highly regarded plastic printers in both offset lithographic and digital fields. He later added the role of Australasian sales representative for Lenticular Plastic Companies (ended 2014) and Photogram Technologies (Photogramtech -closed late 2021).
Today, Bart Kelsey continues to operate a niche lenticular print service from his base in Melbourne, Australia.
