FREE Workshop for Artists - How to Photograph Your Work

This hands-on workshop is designed to help you master the art of photographing your artwork. Explore the concepts and techniques that elevate the presentation of your pieces, while focusing on the finer details that produce high-quality images. Bring in 1-2 of your very own original artworks and utilize your phone or digital camera (whichever you feel most comfortable with) to fully immerse yourself in this experience. Led by KELA, a mindful fine art nature-based analogue photographer, this session will guide you through everything from composition and lighting to camera settings and minimal editing. You will also take away how to develop a cohesive aesthetic for your social media, website, and submissions that reflect your unique creative style and brand. By the end of the workshop, you will feel confident and ready to share your artwork consistently with images that genuinely reflect your unique artistry.
