FREE Workshop for Artists - How to Photograph Your Work

Whether it's for promotional print material, a website, or an application for a competition or exhibition, every artist needs good digital PHOTOGRAPHS OF THEIR ARTWORK. Local photographer Alexander Klaes will instruct artists on the basics for photographing artwork in this free two hour workshop. This WORKSHOP WILL COVER HOW TO PHOTOGRAPH BOTH 2-D and 3-D artwork. Discussion will be based on two main topics: camera fundamentals (ISO, shutter speed, aperture, lens focal length) and lighting fundamentals (2-D vs. 3-D lighting techniques, hard light vs. soft light, color temperature, inverse square law of light). Participants are encouraged to bring their digital camera and smartphone.   Getting a good quality photo of your artwork can make all the difference when selling a piece or getting into a show. Collectors, curators, and jurors often only have a photograph of an artwork when making a decision, so it needs to accurately represent the work.
