Taking photographs of your work

Have you been disappointed when taking photographs of your artwork? I know I have!!!

Hi from MadDi

Today we have a few tips and techniques to hopefully help you present your work in the best way possible.

I want to show you some of my BEFORE and AFTER pics Aaaaaaghhhhh:

This is my before shot - cluttered, messy, and bad lighting:

And here is my after shot - no distractions:

Here is my before shot - distracted by the background:

Here is my after shot:

LOL a last before shot, bad lighting (which distorts the colours) and messy background:

And the after shot taken in afternoon sunlight:

So what did I do?

• Asked for advice  and listened to the advice.
• Took loads of shots.
• Found some places inside and outside the house which did NOT detract from my shots.
• Bought a great big sheet of mounting board that I can use as a backdrop for photographs of my work. A large canvas will also work or a great white wall!
• PRACTICED, PRACTICED, PRACTICED.

I hope this helps you improve the shots you take of your work!!!

Love from MadDi
