Photographing Works of Art: A Practical Workshop for Artists

Photographing Works of Art: A Practical Workshop for Artists
Date: 
 Saturday, February 10, 2018
Time: 
9:00 - 1:00
Registration Fee: $20/Members, $40/Non-members

Instructor: Joe Barabe


Artists often need high quality photographs of their works for many purposes: for their portfolios, to submit to juried exhibitions, for publication in books, catalogs, cards or as digital prints. In this workshop, the artist will learn how to make professional quality photos of paintings, prints and drawings, and 3-dimensional works as well.  Some of the topics covered include:

- Cameras: DSLR, mirrorless, point & shoot, phone camera - the good & bad, and how to use
- Camera settings for optimizing high resolution and accurate color
- Camera positioning for optimal perspective and vibration control
- Choosing the right lens
- Lighting techniques for 2- and 3-dimensional works
- Processing the image: cropping, straightening, and color correction
- Changing the size and resolution of the image file to meet juried show and publishers' requirements


Professional photography of one work of art is included in the registration fee. Please bring a standard SD card for your image. For an additional fee of $10 per piece, Joe can photograph up to three works per artist. Post-processing services (cropping, straightening, and color correction) are available for an additional fee of $10 per image.
