Photographing Your Work with Alan Dimmick

Join us for this specialist session on how to photograph your work from 10am-12pm Wednesday 2nd August 2023 at Firestation Creative, Dunfermline. You’ll learn about lighting, positioning and what makes a strong photograph typically used as part of applications and project proposals. 

The workshop will be led by photographer Alan Dimmick who will take you through the steps to document your work. You’ll learn simple techniques using traditional lighting methods as well as a DIY approach, that will give you the soft and revealing light best showcasing your work.

What to bring or prepare.. 

Equipment will be provided at the session, including cameras, lighting, tripods and reflectors. However, if you would like to bring your own camera, please do but note that this is not essential. Props will also be provided but you are invited to use this time to bring some smaller artworks, 3D or 2D, as there will be opportunity for you to use the equipment.

A ‘Documenting and Recording Your Work’ handout will be provided at the session for you to take home.
