Photographing my work...

Do you take photos of your family, your holidays or your hobbies?  I do, I don't go anywhere without my camera. And yes I'm sure I drive everyone nuts snap, snap, snapping away lol. But for me it is so important to help me hold onto my memories. And it also helps me follow my progress in my art. So today's blog is about how I am trying to experiment taking photos of my work with my new graduated backdrops. I don't have all the bells and whistles just the back drop papers that are graduated in colour.  I'm amazed at how it makes my work look. I will eventually work towards the lights etc.. but its all money and one step at a time and I'll make do with what I have...
So here is a few photos of some new under glazed mugs, teacups and saucers that I've been working on this week that are ready for a bisque firing and then onto a glaze firing. And they have been taken with the graduated backdrop.....

All of the mugs/ teacups and saucers in these photos 

are in a green state (unfired) and decorated with under glaze. 

So a bisque firing and then a clear glaze firing to finish and the colours will

All pop much brighter... The owl tea pot is finished with its final glaze coat.

So this is just the start of my experimenting with taking photos of my work and I will have to look into the lighting Side of things next. But I'm finding it very exciting trying new things out, there is always something new to learn....

Thanks for dropping in to see what I've been up to...Mudcolony is my next stop. That's where we all share our studio happenings, come on over and say hi....
