Photographing 3D Artwork: Sculpture and Ceramics

$65

with Ray Schneider

Calendar Next session starts Jan 18, 2026 at 10 am

High-quality images are essential for showcasing your work, whether for portfolios, exhibitions, or online platforms. This hands-on workshop introduces participants to the fundamentals of photographing three-dimensional artwork, with a focus on sculpture and ceramics. Using a professional photography setup with lighting and backdrop, you’ll be guided step-by-step through how to capture form, surface, and detail.

Participants will practice by photographing one of their own pieces during the workshop, with instruction on composition, lighting angles, and background selection. The session also includes an introduction to free, user-friendly photo editing software to help polish your images.

In addition to the guided session, participants will be scheduled for follow-up studio time to return and photograph additional work using the same professional setup. This ensures you leave with both the skills and the resources to continue documenting your artwork with confidence.
