PHOTOGRAPHING your art

While there is no right or wrong answer to the eternal question of when an artwork is “finished”, it is shortsighted to think that an artist’s work is done once the last mark has been made. If you are keen to enter open competitions, publish your artwork online and ultimately get it into the hands of gallerists and buyers, then perhaps the most fundamental next step is photographing your art

Giving critics, judges, curators and even members of the public an accurate representation of your work through photographs is a challenging task, however, but with the right equipment there are some tried and tested tricks you can employ to get the best results.
