How To Photograph Your 2D Art

How To Photograph your 2D Artwork

A 2 wk Online Course

*Open Enrollment

Taking great photos of your work is key!! Never underestimate the power of display! How you present your artwork is just as important as the work itself, and more often than not it's what makes the difference between someone understanding/buying your work or not! One of the biggest obstacles to overcome when photographing your work is the 2-D quality or flatness of your image when presented online. Context is everything, it is important to remember you are presenting an object, not just an image on a screen! For flat 2-D objects such as drawings and prints you not only want to show a scanned in version of the work but also a shot with space around the work. You want to give your viewer an idea of the size of the piece, as well as it's presence!

This short 2 week course is focused only on how to photograph your 2D art, giving you the opportunity to give priority to an important, and often overlooked, aspect of presenting your work! With many examples and the opportunity for feedback and advice from practiced art professionals! 

You will  need a digital camera and ample time to experiment photographing your art!

Photographing your art can be just as much a work of art as the artwork itself.
