Photographing your Artwork for the Sharpest, Most Accurate Images You Can Imagine!

Let me show you how you can get the best, most accurate photos of your paintings or drawings. From the setup, the tools you'll need, camera settings, camera angles, through Lightroom and Photoshop adjustments you'll want to make and saving in different formats, I take you through it step by step and leave nothing out. When you're finished, you'll be a master at getting an image of your artwork that looks as good as the original.
