Crucial Tips for Online Photo Capture
Photograph in bright, indirect daylight next to a window to preserve accurate colors without yellowish artificial bulb tints.
Turn camera flash OFF. Flash causes bright white reflections and washes out delicate watercolor gradations and pastel tones.
Hold the camera directly above the artwork plane so that corners are rectangular and not angled like a trapezoid.
