To take pictures of your artwork, place the piece on a plain white background. For 3D pieces, place on a plain white surface with a plain white background. It is best to use natural lighting, if it is not available make sure to use a bright white light without tinting. Make sure the light is not too close to the piece or it will wash it out. 

When taking the photo make sure to aim the camera directly at the piece without angling the camera. For 3D art make sure to take photos from different angles of your work.
