Very good tips! I have solved my problems so far by just taking photos outside and using my handheld camera just moving around the piece taking several different photos and then choosing the best one (or two etc.) My neighbors might wonder about my sanity though that I am outside so much taking multiple pictures of random things. :p - Heidi

Look into using a polarizing filter. photographylife.com/definition/polarizing-filter You could buy a plastic polarizing filter sheet for about $5 and put it over your camera lens. Or buy a good glass polarizing filter for $40-80.

Hi, I agree that is the best setup and much better than direct lighting through umbrella or soft-boxes from 45 degree sides+ clamshell from top and bottom. In my dark studio I tried this setup same as you but the light is not bouncing equally to the artwork (specially if it’s in large size) because strobe is circle shape and hitting the center of white flat. Then I tried shooting in large shade of sunny day- afternoon and the result was very good, clear and sharp with well accurate colours and all details; BUT not rich dynamic range as much as shooting in studio with LED. Natural light in this way makes the artwork some kind of pale! After that I decided to avoid stone flash and use continues LED light. If set from 4 sides, still the center of artwork is not illuminating as sides equally again! Finally, I had to manage my lighting setup by Flexible continuous LED with a unique design. How? With making a LED-wall in parallel of the artwork. In this way I can be sure that my artwork is illuminating by the lighting-wall corner to corner equally. That’s it. What do you think?

This is a problem for my larger paintings on aluminium and can be resolved, for me it takes a bit more effort. I normally take photographs of the same painting upright and upside down as my glare is usually on the top part of the painting. I then composite the best parts together in photoshop, which is easy if conditions are kept constant. You just flip the art and mask out the glare......after that you can adjust curves and colour ( if needed ). For glossy paintings, or handling any artworks, it is really important to wear cotton or archive gloves to avoid those greasy finger prints. They WILL show on the surface of paintings, this could be a factor to prevent a sale.

The best thing I found was putting it in tons of random places around in different rooms until I found a magic spot where I can get photos of resined art with no glare shines or reflections. I don’t know why it’s perfect. It’s a space u see the stairs behind a couch in our living room. It’s just a lucky, perfect spot. My advise now is to do that. Try putting it all over the place until it just works for some reason :P good point about the finger prints I’ve never paid attention to that but I should.
@christopherfarrell-artist35578 ай бұрын
@@Artresin Resined art is very difficult to document. I am more of a painter than a photographer, I wonder if there are lens filters that can be used to help diffuse the light while keeping the detail before the image goes in to Photoshop. I have found it best to have the highest quality raw files and work from there. I think Photoshop and/or Lightroom are going to have new AI features to eliminate reflections...but, if the latest AI features are anything to go by, I will hold off any opinion as they seem more of a sales gimmick rather than anything useful in terms of actual productivity.🙂

You could scan them with a flatbed scanner, maybe? Although 9x12 is just slightly larger than most good flatbeds, such as a V700. It's about a 1/2" short in each dimension though.

With only one light you will want to try to center it as much as possible to give even coverage with the focus of the light aimed in a way that the reflection isn't on your canvas.

How do I get rid of dust speck highlights on a dark background? I tried the set up you described and I have an original oil painting that is similar to the black cactus painting you demoed. Small specks caused by brush marks are picking up highlights. Lots of them. The painting is dark and gloss varnished. There are art shows that I want to submit that do not permit photoshop modifications (other than crop and white balance. Is there a technique that will work?
@Artresin2 жыл бұрын
Thats a challenge! The best recommendation is making adjustments to your lighting. Try to create an even wash of light so that it minimizes any highlighting of the imperfections and glare, but aside from that without being able to modify the photo, its tough to get some things perfect.
@garrytrinh3062 Жыл бұрын
It's possible to eliminate dust speck highlights in oils paintings by using polarising films over both your studio lights and a circle polarising filter over your lens.
