Learn the secrets of how to shoot your jewelry, glass, beads, ceramics, arts, and crafts with an experienced professional product and studio photographer. See what aspects make for a high quality photograph. Learn the language of studio photography, the 9 parameters of successful photos and how to produce them. We’ll cover basic photography, the qualities of good lighting, composition, background materials, the proper use of an 18 percent gray card, how to set your camera's menus, ISO, aperture, shutter speed, shooting mode, color balance and quality settings. You'll photograph your own pieces during class at lighting stations provided by the instructor. Students should bring their own DSLR cameras to learn the proper settings for photographing their pieces. You'll leave the classes empowered to create photos as beautiful as the art you're photographing.
Supply List:
DSLR cameras with interchangeable lenses (18-55mm "kit" zoom is acceptable) and manual exposure are recommended along with a tripod. A macro lens for the DSLR is helpful for small glass, jewelry and bead items. Point-and-shoot or fixed lens cameras without these features are inadequate, will not perform as needed for creating professional work and are not recommended. Students should bring 16-20+ art pieces to the class to photograph.Materials provided by teacher:
