Actually all you did is send a link to a Kodak Flash gallery. I need the full size images e-mailed to me, one per e-mail to evaluate them. I also need your phone number in the e-mail so I can call you with my observations.
I didn't want to waste your time if you were trying to make a living. I have a Panasonic DMC-TZ3 and no attention span for reading light meters and understanding settings. I also know that since my primary goal at this point is the internet, color is going to be decided to some degree by the receiving computers. The three pictures that I uploaded to artfairinsiders turn out decent, I think. What do you think?

Of course I'm looking for new clients, but I also have been giving free image evaluations for the past four years: http://zapphelp.com/evaluation.htm
I will not be doing art fairs this year. My intent is to gather information and decide whether it is something I want to do next year. Thus I will not be needing photos for art fair submission at this time. I do hope to have created a web page before the end of the year but only time will tell. Obviously good photos are important for that as well. However, I cannot afford professional help at this time... for my pictures or any other need. :) I assume, since this is what you do for a living, that you are looking for clients. I will certainly keep you in mind when I do have some funds.
I was not aware of your information until now. There is some really cool stuff there and I look forward to reading it. In the meantime, would you like me to send you some photos of my artwork or do you just want to check the photos I submitted to artfarinsider?

Did you read my information? If you are holding your camera and using natural light, you're probably getting blurry flat images of your paintings. If you're shooting in sunlight, you're probably getting overly contrasty images. Without knowing exactly what you're doing and seeing examples, I can't be of much help except to point to all my artists I've written on how to do it.

I take some pretty good photos as reference material but when I take pictures of my paintings I have several issues and mostly have no idea what I am doing. I am holding my camera and using natural light. If that doesn't clarify how clueless I am, nothing will. Perhaps there is a book I could read?
