Aukje, our ASV social media guru, has found some very good you tube videos about how to stage lighting for your statues.
For the Annual exhibition we will have only very limited photography. Sculptors are expected to provide semi professional photography.
This is not very hard, now we all have access to smart phones with good cameras, and it’s not very expensive eithe r- if you want to buy equipment. *(eBay)
Very important is how you light your sculpture before you take a photo.
I have found the following clips that explain really well how a camera works (and how that translates to the settings in your smart phone) .
There is also one on how to set up lights in your home in a way that works well for photos.
And there is one on how to build your own cheap set up, as in; lights, reflectors etc.
Have a look, and I am sure it will help you make much better photos.
We are also planning a night in which we give a demo on how to set up lights, and how to use your smart phone for photography!
