No I can't do it all myself . . .
As much as I wanted to do everything myself, I actually hired someone to shoot my artwork at UCM last week. In the past I have done this myself, but not always successfully. Shooting art work is difficult because of glare, distortion, and other factors which include insufficient lighting (and an old camera.)
The young man I hired, Bryan, did a great job, and now I have high res images I can use for my website, blog and juried entries. Over the next few weeks, I will be highlighting and updating my sites.
Here is one of his images:
This piece is mounted tapestry style; it hangs out away from the wall and was especially difficult to shoot because the heavy canvas has a tendency to curl at the bottom. Bryan devised a method to alleviate this issue. Another interesting tidbit, this canvas was Mr. Ellis, the former UCM art chair for many many years and is my homage to his legacy. I have several pieces that are in this series, "Ellis Homage."
As always, thanks for reading and more to come!
Cheers,
T.
