Photographing objects: simple tips on how to get better results

This workshop led by photographer Michael Pollard will be based around a simple table-top set-up designed to show how best to achieve good quality, clear images of objects made from a variety of materials. This is particularly important when you are adding images to your documentation records. There will be an introduction to the equipment to be used, explaining the basics of a camera system whilst also looking at different light sources and the pros and cons of each. There will be practical demonstrations of object photography with images visible to view on a laptop as they are taken. Attendees are also encouraged to ask questions throughout the workshop.
