These are two pdfs on how to photograph your own artwork.

I believe all artists should now how to photograph their own artwork. This is especially beneficial to beginners. If you’re having someone else photographing the artwork, it is still a good idea to know the photographic process. Just like it is a good idea to know the business side of being an artist. I would recommend downloading both pdfs.

The first pdf is a photographing lesson from Web Photo School.

The second pdf just has some more information on photographing artwork.
