As artists, we spend a lot of time perfecting our craft. But then, after hours of working on a painting, exhausted and up against a deadline, we often neglect the most important part of the process which is photographing the work.
Too many of us are a little lost when it comes to the specifics and settle for a few sloppy shots before shipping the artwork out.
Since artists are required to submit work digitally for exhibitions, grants, talks and your public profile page, good photography offers the first impression of your art and your professionalism.
We frequently see artists with incredible artwork, but have images that are shot in dimly lit, sloppy environments that distort the original artwork.
Knowing how to properly photograph your work can mean the difference between being accepted to a show, or winning the favors of an important client or gallery director.
