Spent a good bit of time today taking pictures to have some simple snapshots of newer work on my gallery pages. I also need to be better at documenting my work, so the photos are necessary.
I just am not a very good photographer and I’m really not committed to getting that much better at it. I think I’ve decided that if I need a really good image to enter a show, I’ll pay a professional to do a good job for me. Lights, cameras…all that stuff I don’t want to invest any more time or money into. I’ve followed the advice of Holly Knott and read lots of photo articles and it’s just not my thing!
For this post, I’ll give you a quick slideshow of what will be on the gallery pages. Most of this will be going up in my exhibit next week, along with a few pieces that are in another show right now. I love making the stuff, but photography really is NOT fun for me!
Beautiful collection.
Thank you…I had a great time making them!
I think your pictures are good enough for gallery shows. If you were entering a big national show, you would probably want to invest in a professional.
Thanks, Judy. I just get very frustrated every time I take photos but I really, really am not interested in the technical aspects enough to study and make them better. I can really appreciate the professionals better now than even a year ago!
Mary Beth Donovan from the Creative Seasons group does quilt photography and also general photography like weddings. She wasn’t at the meeting you came to but I’ll introduce you when she it.
She was here at my first dye day…didn’t know she did photography. Good to know!
