Best way to photograph art???, by morrissey1 on Jul 12, 2008 22:33:27 GMT 1, Anyone have any good advice on how to best photograph artwork with a standard digital camera, to make the pics look more professional? You see all these pics on gallery/artist sites, and they look awfully professional, anyone have any hints, advice..etc.....(besides getting a better camera, of course)

You would have to get the room lit well with natural light and then take a photo with the flash off if you were doing it yourself.
If you need the flash on then you must take it at a slight angle to allow the light to bounce off the surface to avoid glare.

Best way to photograph art???, by DavidSimon on Jul 15, 2008 13:33:55 GMT 1, Lighting is a key aspect - if you don't have great lighting, take the shots outside. Natural light is the best possible anyway. Its very difficult to take a decent shot if the work is behind glass - if you don't want to unframe it, take the shot at an angle to minimize flash and reflection. The trouble is the angle will distort the image slightly.

Best way to photograph art???, by Signal Gallery on Jul 18, 2008 19:51:42 GMT 1, If I take my own pics of my work I use a tripod and put the timer on to activate the shot - this is to cut down on camera shake.
A good clear day is good. Too much sun is not great as it can cause 'hotspots' etc

I know nothing about taking photos myself 
but the number of gallery sites around that have pictures on that are totally out of focus
