This is the best tutorial I've seen on photographing art work. It is very generous of you to share this knowledge. Thank you!

Thank you Chuck. This is the BEST of all the 'How to Photograph Art' videos. Much appreciated.

I'm with Wendy M....this is a full coverage tutorial, extremely helpful. Your knowledge matches your talent Chuck! Thank you for taking time to help us out!

I am a artist going to take my first pro. step...this was a great tutorial for photographing artwork.I have been looking up for specifically digitizing artwork using dslr images...this was spot on....so so happy and relieved.My best to u. Love your art to..very inspiring.cheers

Thank you for making this video! I have searched many artist, photography, and printing websites for this information and can now finally stop looking! You made it very easy to understand and explained the process perfectly,

Finally, all in one place! I learned lots of details I never knew. I have been photo/photoshopping a long time but never in one place did I learn the whole set of individual parameters/settings/values needed to photo my work. I had some parts right. Now, I not only know the answer to some puzzles (how to get the best stitched images, tape measuring distance, and histograms) you confirmed that I had some stuff right already. Nikon D3400 is my current rig. (My dad had a 35mm Kodak film camera from college [1930-40s] so I’ve always documented my life and work and the “goodness” of having someone, again, tutor me now in my 70s is priceless a gift from you, Chuck. When we get older we have to hunt long and hard for teachers as dedicated as you and as conscientious and warm-hearted! You’re a great role model for the young, and patient as Job for us oldies! Really helpful! Practical! -Glenn

Fantastic tutorial Chuck. This really helps me out.

Wonderful tutorial. You are generous in sharing your knowledge. I appreciate it.

Thanks so much Chuck.

Hi Chuck. I'm sure you have made it easier for an artist to get a handle on the process. One thing though that artists always seem to get wrong in photoshop is how to correct for blue. You simply increase yellow. In Photoshop you need to think of the primary colours as Red, Green, and Blue. Their compliments are Cyan, Magenta, and Yellow. To reduce a primary you increase its complementary colour. one slider not two unless it is not a pure primary colour that needs fixing.. That said people often mistake a Cyam shift for a Blue shift. Catches me out sometimes. All the best from Australia.

I've been searching for a great tutorial on photgraphing artwork. I found it! Thank you, Thank you. I am comfortable to practice it now. Best on KZfaq.

I stumbled upon this video while I was searching for camera review videos. This is most comprehensive guide I have ever come across about photographing the art . Particularly the explanation about histogram and how to use it to get a perfect shot. Thank you so much for narrating the process in great detail. - Manish

Very clear and precise! Thank you!

Wow, what an amazing tutorial. I appreciate the information and look forward to watching this again as I set up my studio to photograph my art. You really explained so much of the fundamentals that make it easier to understand the process of creating quality photos.

Thank you so much Chuck! i have struggled with photographing my work and I thought it was cause I have a crappy camera. Nope, the problem was my lighting. Now I can fix that! :)

hi Chuck ; just to say to you i have the Nikon D7000 with the lense 18x200 ml ; I always use the manuel setting for my subjects for my painting ; i am always following your tips, and thank you very much for sharing Chuck ;

Thank you for the tutorial.

Very great lesson.

great video thanks, I will try this out for some paintings that are going to auction. Super video, really easy to understand.

Although this tutorial is 5 years old, I'm finding it clearer, more comprehensive, and more helpful than the several others (often more recent) that I've found. Thanks!!!

You are an angel from heaven. Thank you SO MUCH for this video.

Thanks so much for this video. I really learned a lot. I have a Canon, I guess it's considered a consumer grade. I'm just starting out taking photos of my paintings and drawings. I can't wait to apply your lessons!

Thanks for sharing your experience, many things are helpful in this video really appreciate.

Thanks a lot for all that great info.

Amazingly informative, easy to follow and superbly presented. I know i will re watch this many times. Thank you so so much..this is going to help me so very much with transforming into the next stage of my art journey. Brilliant 😊👍👍

Thank you for this video. I know about painting, but virtually nothing about photos. About a month ago I bought a Nikon camera, but I haven't had much time to learn how to use it. This video was very informative and I appreciate that very much.

My favourite artist ❤️❤️😇

great tutorial but a few things to note. make sure the bulbs are rated for the same colour temperature (ie. 5000K) and set your camera to photograph at that setting. this will make the colour shifts less noticeable in the photograph. also there is colour correcting tools like x-rite colorchecker passport which will ensure colour accuracy if used properly.

Thank YOU. I learned so much from you. I'm an amateur graphite artist, and my scanner doesn't do my drawings any justice. So I'm considering investing in a camera and other equipment to take photos of my drawings simply to share. I'm very appreciative of your sharing. Your instruction was excellent for me. I've subscribed. - Jose

Amazing video~ thank u so much sensei🙏🙏

Very informative I tried to take fotos of my paintings and I gave up, this will put me on the right direction. Thank you.

Amazing video, thank you!

excellent video covering most of the aspects required to understand how to get good quality captures of art. The same could be done for still life subjects.

Thanks man! This was very helpful :)

Thank you SOOOO MUCH!!!!!

Your in-depth instruction is so beneficial. Thank you for your contribution to we fellow artists seeking a better understanding

Thank you for an excellent video. I'm using a D90 - now need to get the Macro lens! I have been having problems getting professional images for reproduction; now I understand the process a little more. Your video is very lucid, doesn't waffle & is well shot. Marvellous!

Hi Chuck, I always check the comment section before watching a video tutorial, just so I don't waste time.The people comment so enthusiastically, 👍 woohoo I'm looking forward watching your tutorial! :)

I thought I had a good handle on photography and Photoshop, but I learned much more than I expected from this excellent video. Thank you Chuck for providing such valuable information.

Thank you

So helpful - thank you! Wish I’d found this before I spent a day taking crap photos :)

That was very interesting. I wonder what kind of resolution my film SLRs produce.

Check you out; I'm impressed with all that you know about photography, too. You've got that down. I didn't expect all that you know and you explaining it all so well; so well, that an amature could understand you. You're so giving, Chuck. Thank you so much, Mr Chuck Black. You could be a really good teacher, too. LOL but I love what you're doing with your art.

This video is excellent
