Appropriate titles are important for search indexing and for merchandising. Give your image a descriptive and appealing title. Keywords help to ensure that your images show up in search. Do not use trademarked names (ex: BigMac, Chanel, etc.) or types of content (examples: vector or illustration) as keywords or in your title. If any person or private property in the image is recognizable then a model or property release must accompany the image. In the case of an identifiable property, investigate whether the item is protected by privacy, trademark, or copyright law, because a property release may be required. Some buildings and places of interest cannot be used for commercial photography. It is up to you to determine if a release is needed.

In order to generate a quality art print your images should be: • Appropriately lit and exposed • Without visible noise or dust • Well-composed • Processed inconspicuously Tips for photographing artwork • Mount your artwork onto the easel using a level to be sure it is upright and square to the camera lens. • Mount your camera to the tripod. Make sure the angel of camera is perpendicular to the painting to negate distortion. If the camera is angled up or down even slightly, this will cause the image to look warped. • Frame and position with the tripod to fill the view finder with the painting. When you look in the view finder, be sure the subject fits perfectly meaning the painting will be square and even on all four sides. • Photograph the artwork with the grey scale in the frame of your shot. • If using lights, position them at 45 degree angles bouncing the light equally into the umbrellas or soft boxes and back onto your art. Lighting is key. Remember what you see is what you get so before making your exposures, be sure lighting is even by using a light meter or by measuring the distance of the lights from the subject you are photographing. • If shooting outside without lights, make sure the light on your painting is even distributed. The surface of the painting may have a reflective quality so beware of light kicks and shine. This would blow out your highlights, thus leaving no detail for printing. • With your camera’s built in light meter, you can achieve your desired exposures. With strobe lighting you will need a light meter to determine your exposures.
