Photograph Artwork

Photographing your artwork and your process is a crucial aspect within creating an AP art portfolio. We will focus on the quality of your images and ensure it reflects the quality of your work as well as the process you use from brain storming, to experimentation, to completion of assignments. 

Most students will utilize their personal phones to photograph their work. There is a classroom camera provided if students prefer to use that to document their work.

ADDITIONAL ARTWORK PHOTOGRAPHY TIPS:

• Use bright, indirect natural lighting.

• Natural light fluorescent bulbs can also be a good choice.

• Avoid deep shadows and dappling effects.

• Position the lights and the artwork carefully before taking the photo. ...

• Soften the glare and intensity by diffusing the light source.
