Documenting your Artwork

About the Workshop

Bring your own artwork to document after the presentation!

This workshop will discuss and demonstrate techniques for portfolio documentation of artwork (Photographic Images, Drawings, Paintings, Collage, Sculpture and Digital Images). Documentation techniques will be largely photographic with a focus on managing lighting configurations, camera settings and color matching. Adobe Photoshop will be presented as a tool for simple digital image retouching and cleanup. No previous experience is necessary.

Following the presentation will be a workshop for using the camera and lighting studio to document artwork you bring to the event.
