As an artist, communicating your work is a necessary part of what you do. This 4-Hour workshop teaches you how to overcome the challenges of photographing your art. Drawings, paintings, ceramics, sculptures, textiles, or jewelry each of which requires a different approach. Photographically, some of the most difficult situations to capture are high-contrast, glossy, or heavily textured pieces. This workshop will address, demonstrate, and teach you how to overcome such challenges. Since the public likes to see, meet or understand the artist whose work they are purchasing, we will also go over headshots. As a bonus, every attendee will receive a voucher for a complimentary headshot and one piece of art photographed to reproduction quality.
Snacks and beverages will be provided.
