Something I’ve been working on/struggling with/learning about lately is representing my artwork well through photographs. It is a challenge, I have to say. One of my recent goals has been to start showing my work in a setting so that people can see what it might look like as part of a home. Here are some recent attempts.
One of the hardest things is getting good lighting without any color casts. I’m trying to make friends with Photoshop, but we have differences of opinions on many things—such as “why do there have to be so many different ways to manipulate a photo!!??” This is a case of too many options for the novice, although I know, perhaps, one day I will be thankful for the million and one tools that the program offers.
Anyway, I’d love to hear your opinions and suggestions on these photos or what other types of photos might be helpful to show art collectors what they might do with my work.








the frames look lovely! designsponge.com is a great place for inspiration about interior photos x
Hi! I think this is just the thing your work needs for a great presentation! The scanned images are also ideal so people can have a close up, but picturing a mock-up of what it could look like will allow your potential customers to picture it in their own home
Great job! Also, I’m no Photoshop pro, but have used it a few years now. I tend to use the same features, but when I’m doing something unique is when I’m really happy to have the program and all the features it has. Being that you’re in the art industry I think with time you’ll feel the same way, too!
Oh my God, Nicole that first photo looks like it came out of a fancy magazine. I’m not joking. You should submit it to blogs like design sponge (great suggestion Claire) and maybe the author of that blog will feature you in a post. That picture really is wonderful and a great visual description of what can be done with your art.
