Creating quality images of your artwork for marketing materials, selling & displaying your art online and portfolio organization is one of the keys to success. In this 2 day workshop through hands-on instruction participants will learn what the best camera settings are for capturing optimal images and how to take great photographs of your work both indoors and outdoors.  You will learn how to save and organize your image files for easy future access.
