Tips on Photographing Your Own Art

In the picture above, Dave Smith is using two small softboxes, which at that distance act like white umbrellas.

First a disclaimer. Though I may make it look relatively easy for you to be your own photographer, if you don't have the photography and Photoshop skills, you may be putting yourself at a disadvantage in the jury room. Competition is fierce and it isn't going to get any easier to get into shows. If you feel that you need help, I'll photograph your work. Or maybe you want to do the photography and send me the images for that all important post processing as dozens of artists already do.
