    TIP! You can use white paper or cartolina as a reflector to eliminate harsh shadows or to spread the light more evenly 👌

    @TheFordonGreeman 7 років тому +80

    A tip for photographing greyscale art (graphite, charcoal, etc.): Change the color saturation to 0 if your paper looks oddly colored. This will get rid of any white balance issues (white paper appearing yellow from artificial lights, for instance) and the greyscale information of the graphite/charcoal/whatever medium and paper will not be lost. Thank you Intro to Photography class for teaching me that! And thank you for this video!

    It also depends with what type of medium you are working with in regards to photo vs. scanning. For my watercolors, I find that scanning is better as it can reduce the watercolor paper texture. If I'm doing a flat lay though, photos are always the easier option! For my drawings I find that photographing is easier so I don't have to scan each little section at a time and then merge them together.

  • @93maija
    @93maija 7 років тому +8

    Okay so I have a lot of the same routines when I photograph my artwork for instagram. But one thing I do differently is that instead of cropping away the background, I'll often make it be an interesting part of the photo.
    For example, I often draw pictures inspired by nature or with nature backgrounds, like a troll in a forest or a mermaid swimming in the sea. So when I'm gonna photograph them, I'll go out and lay my drawings down on a stone or wooden type of surface (or make them stand up against a wall of stone or something). I also like to add some stuff on the sides to mach the motive: some cones if there's a wood inspired drawing, or seaschells if it's a mermaid.
    Now this does of course not work for everyone, but I feel like it works really well for me and my art style, so I thought I'd share it ;)
    (And btw my instagram is maia_sether if you wanna see examples of what I'm talking about lol)

    @raven3moon 6 років тому

    Adobe Lightroom gives even greater control when editing photo images, esp., if you're editing a lot of images. The program allows you to automatically compensate for the lens of your particular dslr model. In addition to having some of the same features as most editing apps, you can edit out dust; adjust brightness/darkenss/saturation in specific areas; edit the metadata that is attached to the image (adding date, time, location, description, tags, title); and if you shoot in RAW, the program will automatically create a copy of the image, so that the original remains untouched, as you edit the copy, ensuring that the original is never lost.

    Btw idk if you've covered this already but I can't seem to find an answer to it, but do you scan your canvas paintings on some sort of scanner, edit them on photoshop and then turn them into prints? I'd love to know your process of that and what scanner you use because I can't really find how to do that anywhere. It would be really helpful 😊 love your work, keep it up! You're my favourite artist and UA-camr tbh ❤️❤️
