MONTHLY GENERAL MEETING The next general meeting will be held on July 11th, 2026. Demo Artist will be Patti Gary “Photographing Your Artwork with your Smartphone”. |
|
|
|
|
Join award-winning photographic artist Patti Gary for a practical demonstration on how to create high-quality images of your artwork using the camera you already carry every day—your smartphone. Today's phone cameras are capable of producing excellent photographs for art competitions, gallery submissions, websites, social media, and personal archives when used correctly.
Patti will cover essential techniques including camera settings, proper lighting, composition, minimizing glare and reflections, achieving accurate color, and preparing images for juried exhibitions and online presentations. She will also demonstrate how artists can take advantage of the equipment available in CAL's Studio 127 to create professional-looking photographs of their artwork. |
