How I photograph a painting indoors with digital
Now I photograph my artwork in my studio because it is so easy with a digital camera.
I put the digital camera on a tripod and shoot at the highest res I can with the f-stop at the highest number I can get away with (the result is a sharper image).
I shoot with color-corrected fluorescent lights and only during the daytime. I want a fully illuminated room.
I keep the painting away from direct sunlight and if there is any glare, I slightly angle the painting down on my easel.
I correct any distortion in Photoshop.
Viola! And the best pictures I've ever taken.
