Atlanta is filled with talented artists capable of producing jaw-dropping work that inspires the masses. However, people generally run into issues when taking photos of their work. This may be due to lighting, photo quality, dimensions, etc. Smyrna Art and Design came to us to get commercial images for their website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
To make the most of our time, we set up a light that ranged from daylight to candlelight (a different Kelvin temperature of white light). For each piece of artwork, we took about 7 to 10 photos with the various ranges. Daylight worked well for most photos; however, even more importantly, natural light (no external light) was the winner for a few of them.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
When taking photos of artwork, it is imperative to represent the work accurately. When light hits the work, it bounces off at an angle that can create a reflection. It can also not evenly light the work, which may be undesirable. These factors make it harder to truly represent the work than without an external light. With some photo editing magic, the photo’s pop can be restored while keeping the colors and appearance genuine. Here are some of the pictures we took for Smyrna Art and Design.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n
