But I try to shoot in a well lit room, keep away from direct sunlight and shoot straight on to the piece. Oh and no flash! Glad you liked the post... Hi Jill,

It depends on what the default settings on your camera are, and how you can adjust them?

But I try to shoot in a well lit room, keep away from direct sunlight and shoot straight on to the piece. Oh and no flash!

Glad you liked the post…

I have been photographing paintings for a while, sometimes to go on a website and sometimes to copy to email etc. It is actually ( as I have found out) quite tricky, and I can see that in your photo you have been able to capture the colours correctly - you don't know how many times I have photographed an artwork with reflections of lights and sunshine bouncing off, and with variences of colour, which is not best when you are trying to show to a gallery. The painting that turns up needs to be the same as the one in the picture. Anyway, as I say, sometimes the colours in my photographs, when compared, don't match up with the real thing. Is that something to do with my lighting, or setting on the camera - or something else? (Jill - was a nice surprise to see one of my paintings when I opened up your page!) Hello!
