Learn to photograph your artwork & take a proper headshot at home! A DIY masterclass with Hidden Door’s Chris Scott - make your work shine!
About this Event

Welcome to the Hidden Door x Capture Your Work: A DIY Photography Masterclass event! Strong images of your artwork, and yourself, can make all the difference when applying for exhibitions, grants, and funding. But professional photography is expensive, and not always accessible. That’s why we’re offering a practical masterclass with Chris Scott, Hidden Door’s professional photographer, to teach you how to create high-quality images of both your work and your headshot from home.

Chris will guide you through building an affordable, collapsible photography setup using everyday materials, showing you how to control lighting, positioning, and backgrounds to best showcase your work. You’ll also learn how to take a professional-looking headshot, ensuring you have the right image to represent yourself in applications, press features, and online profiles.

This hands-on session is designed to give creatives from all disciplines the skills and confidence to take professional-standard images without the professional price tag. Don’t let poor documentation hold you back! Learn how to make both your work and yourself stand out to curators, funders, and selection panels.
