HINTS FOR PHOTOGRAPHING YOUR ARTWORK

• Set your camera to the highest quality available.


• Shoot your paintings dead square on and fill the
  frame as much as possible. We can crop out
  everything else.


• Take your paintings outside and photograph
  them in the shade. Indoor lighting can create
  unpleasant orange or blue color casts.


• To ensure crisp pictures, use a tripod.
  
  
  • Turn the date off!!
  
  
  • Rather than look through the display screen
    when shooting your digital pictures, use the
    viewfinder because there is less likelihood of
    the camera moving and creating a fuzzy picture.
  
  
  • Make sure no clips or easel clamps intrude
    into the painting, and that frames don’t cast
    shadows that fall onto the painting.
    
    
    • Then print out your entries on photographic
      quality paper no smaller than 8 x 5" (20 x 13 cm)
      size. (Some papers have a yellow tint, which
      impacts on the finished result. If you are unsure,
      it might be best to take your photo files to your
      local digital photolab.)
    
    
    • The full-color prints must be crisp and sharp,
      not jagged or bitmapped, and you must be
      happy with the color.

Enter our

Art Competitions

from anywhere

in the world

It’s great to see your magazine

using the digital technology to

help artists be seen worldwide.

Because our mail takes so long

it is sometimes too late for me to

enter. Being able to enter online

certainly solves the problem.

I am happy that your

online entry form

allows artists from all

countries to enter.

I have just looked at your website

and found out I can now enter your

competitions online. Good news isn’t it!

Your online entry form is a good idea.

I can even see the quality of the other

paintings that have won previously.

Being able to see the other online

entries to your competitions gives

me an idea of what my entry will be

up against.

I’ve always wanted to enter your

competitions. Now I can.

Because I am

able to see the

paintings that

other artists

are entering

I am inspired

to enter my

own art.
