How To Photograph
Your Own Artwork
Instructor:
Jeanette Burkle
Dates and Times:
Saturday, 1 - 4:30 pm
Session 1 2010: Feb 27
Cost: $60
Whether you are an amateur or professional artist, it is important
to show your photographic artwork in its best light. Beautiful and accurate representations are a MUST when you apply to art shows, interview galleries, prepare portfolios for potential clients or just show your latest creations to your family and friends! This workshop will give you the tools you need. Correct techniques for lighting and shooting your artwork – from high gloss oil paintings to pastels under glass and everything in between – will be demonstrated. You will learn the most effective setup for using a digital camera and lights, and you will see differences as we compare photographs taken using the properly lit method versus “point and shoot.” You will also receive instruction on color correction techniques and perspective, printing and electronic submission. Purchasing the proper equipment, where to buy and how much to spend will also be covered.

Lighting Workshop -
The Basics for Beginners
Instructor:
Jeanette Burkle
Dates and Times:
Saturday, 10 am- 4 pm
Session 2 2010: March 20
Cost: $100 (inludes lunch)
This workshop will introduce you to lighting as you learn the basics and work with some of the tools of the trade. We will explore lighting techniques including natural light, on-camera flash and off-camera flash. Understanding their differences will give you the confidence to know when and how to make use of them. Part of the day will be spent using various light modifiers - providing a clear understanding of the effects they have on your specific light source. We will work in groups, and students will have an opportunity to try various lighting set-ups on their own.
This is a hands-on class, so it’s advisable to bring your DSLR with an external flash unit.
If you have any questions about your equipment or the workshop, please feel free to contact Jeanette.
