How to Photograph Your Artwork

Stop paying other people for something that you can do yourself. This workshop is divided into two parts. First, you will learn how to photograph your artwork – both two and three dimensional work. We will cover using inexpensive lighting equipment, including umbrellas, and a tripod, which lenses are best for copy work, how to maximize lens sharpness, how to square your artwork with your camera, shooting through glass, using a light box, and minimizing glare and reflections.   The second half will concentrate on setting up a digital workflow, different types of digital files (RAW, TIF, JPEG), non-destructive Photoshop techniques to improve your files – layers, straightening, cropping, improving contrast, spotting, color correction, and sharpening files, etc.
