A guide for improving your AC-photographsTHE CHALLENGE
As artists who creates 3-dimensional art/craft there is a challenge as to show our creations by photo - in a portfolio, as a deviation on dA or anywhere else on the internet.
The viewer can't touch the surface, feel the fabric or smell the wood. The photograph of the item is all we have, and if the photo doesn't show your creation in a good way the whole impression can be completely destroyed.
If the photo is too blurry or the lighting is too poor it's hard for the viewer too fully appreciate your work and might not see/understand the hard work behind it since details are lost in the poor quality of the photo. Also messy backgrounds, cropping and image size make a huge different when viewing all kinds of work
Of course it makes a difference with what kind of equipment you have, but as long as you know how to use it there is no real excuse to blurry photos.
The tips and tricks I've listed below to combat different problems can be used no matter what camera

Changes!

After submitting these articles for 59 weeks straight - sharing some of the wonderful and unique deviations submitted to the Artisan Crafts Gallery I've come to realize I no longer have the time to keep up.

I asked if someone was interested in taking over, since they are loved and appreciated by the community and I'm so happy to announce that `feetpeet will start sharing her weekly favourites from the Artisan Crafts Gallery.

If you have enjoyed this serie, make sure you have `feetpeet on your devwatch!!

The best of...

So... I wanted to do something special with my last article in this serie and are sharing some of my personal favs all time in each subcat.

It was just too hard to narrow it down to 4 deviation in each category, so I'm featuring 6 pieces/subcat that I personally think are some of the best work to be found in the AC gallery - the idea, design, execution, know-how and presentation stands out and I'd buy it all if I could afford!!

Thank you very much for adding me to your favorites list.
I'm sad to hear you will be leaving. I always enjoyed reading your articles. Your efforts have help many artists in the AC category. Thank you for taking the time to share the work of so many talented artists. I'm sure that "FEETPEET" will carry on what you have started and show us many more wonderful and talented artists here on DA.
