Description
Artists need high-quality digital images for promotional purposes, as well as for submission to exhibits and other opportunities to display your artwork. This hands-on workshop is designed to teach artists how to create these images, using the tools they have at hand, whether they be professional digital cameras, point-and-shoots, or even their smartphone camera. Following an instructional period on basic principles, participants will have the opportunity to create their own images under the tutelage of the workshop instructor.
Participants can expect to have one high-quality digital image of their own work later that week, and the knowledge to create additional professional images of their work.
Participants Should Plan to Bring to the Workshop:
- The camera they will use for photographing their artwork (professional digital camera, a point-and-shoot, or cell phone)
- One piece of their artwork (either 2- or 3-dimensional) that they plan to image.
- For 2-D work, please do not bring framed pieces, just the artwork itself.
- Artwork should not exceed 48 inches on the longest side
- Maximum number of attendees: 10
