Hi, this is NFA.
My name is Bogdan, and today I’m going to teach you how to take pictures of your artwork. First of all, I want to tell you that we accept photos in high resolution, in JPEG format.
Most modern smartphones have a camera that can easily take pictures in this resolution. So you can use your smartphone for photography.
If your phone is an Iphone, you can use the "scan document" feature in your phone's notes. This will help you crop corners and get the right shotIf you have an Android phone, you can download the Google Scan app and scan your work using the app's instructions. This app crops corners, removes unnecessary objects, and works with light on its own
Next you will need an easel. You must place your painting on the easel and place the easel in front of the camera.
Now take the picture. Note that there should be enough light around you. Natural light is also suitable. Try to get rid of the glare in the photo.
Another tip - if you want to photograph artwork under glass or in a frame, you can do so. If you take a picture of your art, under glass, take care that there is no glare of light from the glass in the picture.After taking a photo, you need to crop it and cut out all unnecessary objects.
Done! Now you have your first picture of your art.
