When photographing your artwork for upload to our websites, it’s important to prioritize high-quality images that accurately represent your work. We recommend using a high-resolution camera (DSLR or Mirrorless) to capture the details and the true colors of your artwork. In addition, we will talk about some points to keep in mind when taking your profile picture.<\/h5>\n

CAMERA ANGLE, BACKGROUND
AND THOSE FORBIDDEN FRAMES<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 Use a clean, uncluttered background. Nothing but the artwork should be in the photograph.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Avoid image distortion by taking the picture with the camera level with the center of the artwork.\u00a0Always take the picture with the artwork parallel to the camera.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Fill the frame as much as you can with the artwork, cropping out borders, matting, frames, etc.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Take some closer detail shots of the piece. Are there special details and finishing on the sides? A remarque, sketch, or special signature on the verso side? If it\u2019s a sculpture, be sure to take shots from all sides and angles.<\/p>\n

DEFINITION:<\/h2>\n

This refers to the clarity and sharpness of details in a photograph. An image with high definition will have sharper details and be clearer, while an image with low definition might appear blurry or less sharp.<\/p>\n

BALANCE YOUR WHITES, SHOW THE REAL
COLORS\u00a0 OF THE ARTWORK<\/h3>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u25a0 The ideal lighting is diffused natural lighting, such as a cloudy day, which allows you to capture the most accurate colors and avoid shadows. Don\u2019t have time to wait for a cloudy day? Get two lights that are exactly the same\u2014wattage and color\u2014and place them at 45-degree angles from the center of your artwork. Try to diffuse the light to avoid glare. Place your camera in the center.<\/p>\n

\u25a0 Do not use naked bulbs or flash. These creates hot spots and glare on your artwork. A few sheets of white foam core can be set up to simulate a \u201craking light\u201d effect where the lights are pointed at the foam core and the whiteboard reflects the light back at the piece.<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/h1>\n

IMPORTANT!<\/h1>\n

If you don\u2019t have professional grade lighting kit, you can easily hack diffusing the light with a white sheet or white plastic between the lights and your work. This helps to evenly distribute the light. Alternatively, a few sheets of white foam core can be set up to simulate a \u201craking light\u201d effect where the lights are pointed at the foam core and the whiteboard reflects the light back at the piece.<\/p>\n
