ARGHHHHH, Photography.

Submissions for a Bowl Exhibition...





















































Need to order a new background...
I spend too much time photo editing the damned scratches...
PLUS I feel like the color, lighting, grainy thing is kicking my but...
I ALWAYS like the work better in person!
NOW I'm tired and cranky.
Grrrrr and Argh.....

  1. this sounds like my saturday. mine is scratched too! i need to order a new one. but your photos look better than mine. i think you are doing a nice job.

    photographing my artwork is my least favorite thing to do and i'm awful at it.

    getting a professional this summer because i'm applying for 2 huges grants. i rather stick with the mug making.

  3. Judi, what kind of background are you using there? Is it all black? Or grey? I actually like the contrast of the pieces and the color of the background.

  6. You're doing a great job on the photog front! I love the top 2 bowls - much like the vase I commented on the other day. Your style seems to be evolving/maturing nicely....

    My background is soo scratched up, but since I'm not really making any work....

    If you need a nice smooth gray background try some 3mm gray PVC sheeting from a sign supplier like Signs USA. It's 2 sided and lasts a long time, a 4x8 sheet is only $30.
