Tips for Photographing Your Art
Show your work in the best light
Take care with how your art is lit for the photo, especially if your work is not 2-dimensional. Flash sometimes washes out detail in your work, so not always best. Try to use indirect light, whether from natural or artificial sources
Details, details, details
So photos display well on our site, please make sure that the resolution is large enough to capture the details and quality of your work.
Horizontal, please.
Photos should be shot horizontal rather than vertical.
Great art deserves a great frame
Try to take the picture of your work against a neutral background. A solid colored wall or bed sheet as backdrop will help us focus on your work.
One Union, one art!
If you would like advice on how to photograph your art for submission, get in touch with the arts committee, and the photographers in the group will be happy to help.
Instructions for Prepping and Sending Your Art Work
All work must be submitted ready to be displayed or hanged.
We will not be able to frame nor add mounting materials to your work, so please prepare accordingly so that your work can be displayed without damaging it. For pieces with many small parts, please make sure all parts are secure. For fragile items such as paper, please frame the the piece. For large and heavier items meant to be displayed on a wall, please be sure that it is ready to hang.
If you need help on learning how to wire mount your work, you can view instructions on how to do so in the videos below.
