Product Description
A classic reference enters the digital age! The long anticipated update of Steve Meltzer’s Photographing Your Craftwork is here—and finally artists have a guide that helps them produce high quality images of their work. Cutting through the jargon and hype around digital photography, Meltzer explains in plain language how digital cameras operate, and explores specific techniques for lighting and photographing jewelry, pottery, glass, installed art, stamps, coins, dolls, and other collectibles. Because a great portfolio and smart use of the internet are so important for professional success, there’s also advice on using such photo editing programs as Adobe™ Photoshop and CorelPHOTO-PAINT Pro to turn images into great photographic prints, exciting websites, eye-catching marketing materials, and submissions for exhibition jurying. A Selection of the Crafter's Choice Book Club.

Photograhing Arts, Crafts, and Collectibles November 10, 2008
Cynthia A. James (granbury, Texas)
Excellent Book, helpful and a resource I will use for a long time. And if you need a photographer for your work while you're learning he is great. Very helpful, thorough, and professional and the photos were excellent.
Thank you Steve and I will buy his next book.

Best Book On The Subject! July 4, 2008
P. J. Bloozmaniac (North Greenbush, NY United States)
This is without a doubt one of the best books I've ever purchased. Not only is the subject covered in great detail, but the best kept 'secret' of this book is that the first 71 pages is a wonderful guide to digital cameras & digital photography in general. I'm sure I will be referring to this book often as I photograph jewelry & collectibles and so should you. Now stop reading this and go buy it already!

A very useful book. Well presented information. Covers many different types of materials to be photographed. Includes discussion about camera use first, in general. Would have liked more about photographing large sculptures. Overall, very good.

This is a wonderful book for those who wish to photograph their work in the most professional way possible. Mr. Meltzer takes you gently by the hand, assumes you are starting from scratch and gives an outline of the various types of digital cameras, how they work and compares them to film cameras -- all in an easily understood way. He then goes on to talk about other equipment, lighting, a bit of colour theory and different methods of photographing. If you need help photographing your art, this is the book to buy!
