Photographing Your Work
Most smart phone can take very high quality photographs. If you have a DSLR camera, feel free to use it, but it is probably not necessary.
Pay attention to lighting. This is very important. Most indoor lighting setups will not be bright enough, or they will cast shadows on your artwork. Consider taking your artwork outside to photograph it (weather pending). Even on slightly overcast days, the sun is a great source of bright, indirect light.
Place your artwork on a neutral background. Let the colors of your artwork pop by avoiding color in the background.
Take more photos than you need. Give yourself the luxury of looking through photos to choose the best one.
Please submit photographs as .jpg, .jpeg, .png, or .tiff files. By default, iPhones save photos as .heic files. If you have a Mac, you can use Preview to export photos as .jpeg files. There are also plenty of free online services for changing photo file types.
