Learn best practices for documenting artwork efficiently and accurately using available light or studio lighting.

By the end of this 3-hour worship you should have a grasp on techniques for lighting, maximizing camera resolution, digital colour basics, and output options for screen or print.
Bring your own camera and laptop to build a base colour conversion profile and develop your post-production workflow in Photoshop. Bring one artwork along too if you would like to document it during the workshop!

In this 3-part workshop series, participants will explore the essential skills needed to document, curate, and present photographic artwork professionally. The series begins with a hands-on session on documenting artwork, where you'll learn to use available and studio lighting to capture high-quality images of both flat and three-dimensional works. The second workshop delves into installation strategies, emphasizing how to creatively use space to enhance the impact of photographic displays, with a focus on contemporary photo-based practices. The final session, led by a gallery director, offers insider knowledge on navigating the art market, assembling a portfolio, and preparing work for exhibition and sale. This comprehensive series equips emerging photographers with the tools they need to connect their work with a broader audience.
You can register for individual workshops, or all three by selecting the course fee.
Darren Rigo's art practice centres around responding to location and communities to reveal new ways we can connect to each other and the spaces we occupy. Rigo mainly works in photography but has gradually expanded to include textiles, ceramics and audience engaged performance. Many of his recent projects take a community forward approach, looking to create inspiring connections with art for anyone and everyone. He also documents art for people a lot.
