Many artist friends don't know how to make calligraphy and painting works into finished products, so as to put them on the Internet or as digital works (NFT).
According to my own 10 years of photography experience, I summed up four core elements of shooting calligraphy and painting works.
1, the integrity of the picture; 2. The degree of color reduction; 3, the clarity of the finished product; 4. Adaptability of the network
The following are unfolded one by one:
1, the picture is complete
Note: a uneven canvas leads to image distortion; B frame is too big to shoot at one time;
Operation method: before shooting, you need to fix the canvas on the white wall. The canvas should be as tight as possible. You can stick it on the wall with masking tape. Try to use a fixed-focus lens (you can choose any focal length of 50mm- 100mm). The wide-angle lens will deform the picture, so that the picture won't be deformed.
If the frame is too large, you can shoot more under the fixed-focus lens, and finally use ps stitching. (If you shoot the whole picture with a telephoto lens, the picture pixels will be lost and the picture will be unclear. )
2. Degree of color reduction
Note: A is affected by light, and the colors of photos and canvases are different; B the brightness of the four corners of the canvas is different; C oil painting has some local reflections.
How to operate: the light source is very important. Shooting under natural light should be from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, when the light is stable and the amount of light is sufficient; If there is a photographic lamp, try to use it, the light will be softer and the amount of light will be more uniform (if the picture frame of the work is larger, arrange as many desk lamps as possible), and the photographed work is not easy to cast color; Whether it is natural light or lighting, the light at the edges of the four corners of the work is often darker than that in the central area, so it is necessary to use a fill light plate or a photographic lamp to fill the light; When shooting oil paintings or other three-dimensional paintings, do not use flash, and choose astigmatism as the light source to avoid local exposure of the picture.
3, the clarity of the finished product
Note: insufficient light leads to insufficient clarity; The camera pixels are too low, resulting in insufficient definition.
Operation method: Try to choose the area near the window when shooting in natural light, and avoid direct light. When shooting with a photographic lamp, choose a high-power lamp (100w or more, and use it with a soft box); Choose a professional camera with more than 8 million pixels as much as possible to ensure the clarity of the photos. If you encounter a large-format work, try to divide it into several sections, shoot one section at a time, and finally splice it in ps to get a high-definition photo.
4. Adaptability of the network
Note: The file is too large to upload to the network (WeChat, Weibo, Tik Tok, NFT, personal website, etc.).
Operation method: Common photo sizes are 1024*768, 1600* 1200, 2048* 1536, 2400* 1800, etc. In order to improve browsing efficiency, the network generally requires no more than 2mb, so upload.

Nowadays, digitalization of works of art is the general trend. It is very necessary for artists to use the Internet to promote themselves and their works. In addition to the digitization of works of art, artists themselves should also promote themselves from various online channels to let more people know that this requires the positioning and creation of personal image ip, and also needs to show their own characteristics in the form of short videos. So how to create a personal image and how to make a personal short film, we will communicate later.
Friends who are interested in photography and short videos can also communicate with me at any time to provide more help for beginners.
