The digital
camera has become almost an indispensable tool of the serious
artist. It is a wonderful and cost-saving tool. No more expensive
film; no more time-consuming trips to the film processor; no more
need to get slides or prints scanned. Most artists save enough on
film and processing during the first year to pay for a fairly
decent camera.
Unfortunately, many artists have resisted the move into a
digital photography. And those who have purchased a camera, rarely
realize its full potential. The problem is the complex technology
involved in digital cameras. They may be advertised as
point-and-shoot, but the 200-page manual that comes with the camera
points to the complexity of the camera. And to aggravate the
problem, these manuals are often poorly written and designed.
Digital Photography for
the Artist is a hands-on workshop that demystifies digital
photography. If you properly photograph your paintings, the color
should be almost perfect without relying on Photoshop to save your
photographs. By the end of the workshop, you will know how to shoot
sharp, accurately colored images for reference for your painting and
to record your own paintings.

The workshop also shows you how to prepare the images for use
on the internet.
There are three two-hours blocks:
• First two hours: Understanding the basics of digital
photography.
• Second two hours: Photographing your paintings.
Each artist will have an opportunity to photograph their work
using their own camera or one of the several available at the
workshop.
• Third two hours: Preparing your images for the internet and
reproduction.
By the end of the session, you’ll be ready to photograph your
paintings in perfectly rendered color.
