How to Shoot Photos of Artwork

I’ve shot photos of all my students work or even my own art pieces. I’m not a photographer by trade, but I’ve had to teach the topic. Finding good video tutorials are really helpful. I recently invested in a DSLR camera for shooting images of my work. I’m posting this video tutorial that I found to be really helpful for tips for shooting the work. THIS IS NOT SPECIFIC TO A CAMERA BRAND. To learn how to use the specific Canon or Nikon etc you can find video tutorials separately from that. I used presets on my Nikon to try different White Balance settings. This video is pretty through and they have the challenge of shooting resin art pieces, so lots of glare. I think this tutorial gives you some wonderful tips for how to avoid glare. I was getting glare on some of the acrylic based pieces I was shooting. Happy photographing!
