Yesterday, I created several gelatin plate monotype prints with the masking stencil of my brother fishing of the pier in Rye Harbor, NH.
Enjoy Photographing Gelatin Prints?
Today, I wanted to photograph them, so I could share them online. Lighting is always a challenge for me. I like to keep it simple and not have to correct in photoshop too much.
I like it to be as accurate as possible. I think I would like to hire someone to help me get it right. Every time I set up to shoot, think it will be easier or different, but it is not.
- too much light
- not enough light
- wrong color light
- uneven light
I might have to investing in some more equipment to accurately photograph my gelatin plate monotype prints.
Photographing gelatin prints and art work is very important to online sales and communication.
I have figured out a couple of things:
- white paper background
- sticky putty to “pin them to the wall
- use the custom white balance
- use the tripos
- self timer
- zoom in a bit
