how to photograph your artwork by noll el farol

photographing flat art/2d works
positioning the camera
> Select a set
> Estimate the size of the artwork
> Position the lights
> Balance the illumination
> Place the artwork under the light
> Set the camera back parallel to the artwork
> Center the camera
> Frame the artwork and focus
> Check for problems
> Calculate the exposure
> Make the exposure
> Check the alignment of the camera
> CLICK!
photographing three-dimensional work
> Shoot with simple tools
> Pick a perspective or angle that clearly shows the
works characteristic form
> Do not use high angle that may cause the subject to
appear small and squat
> Legibility of form for accurate identification of the
object, preserve the clarity of outline
> Separate the subject from the background/
foreground. Use white card reflectors to help feather
the shadow thrown on the background

lighting: any noticeable external light

source should be avoided
> Uneven illumination: caused by improperly balanced
photographic lights
> Glare: caused by photographic lights placed too
close to the camera axis, and by varnish on paintings
applied over heavy impasto or cracks on the
surfaces.
> Reflection: caused by shiny parts of a camera and
tripod, pale skin and clothing, and light sources
behind the camera.
If the spirit of a work can emerge, to reveal itself
through a dynamically lit form, the lighting becomes
a context for the art, and not just some bright stuff
aimed at the art to get sterile record.
