Photographing Your Quilts

Capture Your Quilt's Beauty

Let’s face it — you can have the most beautiful quilt, but the quality of your quilt photograph may not give it the justice it deserves. The quilt photo can make the difference between getting into juried shows and receiving a “thank you for your interest” email. Bringing out the beautiful detail and color can be effortless with the proper photography toolset. Having entered several juried exhibitions herself, your course instructor Vicki Conley has a strong understanding of what makes a good artwork photo.

Learn five hacks for taking high-quality photos of your art quilts in this class. Vicki guides you through the process of capturing your quilt in the best possible way from start to finish. Begin with taking a photograph itself; learn about image composition, using a laser level, setting up your camera, and what makes good lighting. Easily resize your pictures in Photoshop, photo editing software, with step-by-step instructions.
