Remember and Inspire.
Clarity




I paint. I am NOT a photographer! I am in awe of the photos other artists take of their own work and always wondered how they did that. So I read up on some simple ways to get clearer and more true to original photos without having to hire a pro. I found all sorts of fancy equipment but little on how to make my own light box that would be big enough to handle larger paintings. Today was breakthrough day! I took the flexible poles from a child's play tent and used the base as a pattern to make a new one out of canvas (base) and shower curtain (walls). The shower curtain was not really big enough but it still diffused the light enough for me to get some better shots. What a difference this made! Very little glare from the paint and the clarity is waaaayy better. With a little practice, I think I might just nail this.
