What is the best way to take photos of a work on paper ?

Here are some simple guidelines to taking good photos of your works :

1) Remove the print or engraving from its frame if it is framed. This will prevent light reflections.

2) Choose, if possible, to use a diffused light. You can use the sun, for example, or other indirect lighting to achieve a homogenous lighting which will not cast any shadows on the work.

3) Do not use flash. Using flash may create a large, bright light in the middle of your work, distorting the actual appearance of your artwork.

4) If your work is of exceptional quality, do not hesitate to use a professional photographer who is better equipped to take a flawless picture. Remember that works which are well photographed have much better chances of being sold.

What about new works on Amorosart ?

When you publish a print, it will automatically be included in the site's 'new items' category for 24 hours. This section is frequently viewed by buyers who visit our site regularly in the hunt for new works.

Is Amorosart moderated ?

- The photo quality is insufficient.

- Information on the work is erroneous.

- The authenticity of the work is questionable.

You will be notified of the suspension of the work and you will be invited to delete it or to correct its content.
