Take Better Photos of Your Art and Illustrations
Offered By: Skillshare
Course Description
Overview
Working digitally means, that when you finish a piece of art, you can just click save to share it on Skillshare, Instagram or anywhere else, online or off. Working with paints and pens and pencils on paper is a little trickier! While you can scan your work, using photography to show off those real-world finished pieces on your website, online shop or across social media can make your work stand out.
In this class, I take you through my process to photograph my work simply and consistently for social media and beyond. I’ll start by showing you how I plan my art to photograph well. Then we’ll cover five set-ups:
- The Simple Flat Lay,
- Capturing Details,
- The Still Life,
- The Gallery, and then
- We’ll take things outside to photograph our art in the world.
This is not a class about fancy-pants flat lay photography. When I’m shooting my work every day for social media, I don’t have time to fuss with a million tiny details. Together we’re going to go over how to get high-quality photos without spending all day fussing! I can't wait to see what you create!
