Follow these guidelines to take high-quality pictures of your work
Use a high-quality camera and natural lighting to ensure your photos resemble the original pieces as much as possible. It’s not necessary to hire a professional photographer to do this, but you shouldn’t be taking the photos from your phone either. If you don’t own a high-quality camera, ask your art teacher if they have one you can borrow.
Make sure the lighting is even ( there should be no shadows in the background).
The picture should be cropped appropriately, so that it shows the entire piece, but without a lot of extra background space. Some schools require you to show the edges of each piece in photographs, so again, read requirements carefully.
The background should be a neutral color, such as black, white, or gray.
The picture should be in focus, and the detail of the work should be visible. (Some schools allow a few additional detail shots to be included if there is a detail you particularly want to highlight.)
No glare should be visible (remove works from frames if necessary).
The colors in the picture should look like the colors of the original piece.
