2:30 pm: How to Photograph Your Artwork
Do you struggle with photographing your artwork, understanding file sizes for print and digital outputs or have trouble capturing the subtleties of your artwork? Today's artists know that the success of their professional documentation starts with quality images of their artwork. Many artists cannot identify poor image quality, size or resolution which will impact their competitiveness in today's art market.
