It is becoming more and more important for artists who work in traditional techniques to be able to present their work through the medium of photography. May it be for entering competitions, applying for grants, putting together a portfolio or presenting the work on website/social media, the digital image will be what the viewer most likely will get to see. 

In this webinar, Tadej Vaukman will talk to us about using the light, correct framing and other tips on how to translate the qualities of the physical artwork into a photograph.
