Art Photography Rig

Art photography rig consists of tripod, backdrop on the floor, and light from the windows.

Wow, time goes by fast. It has been months since I decided to post weekly in my blog, and of course I disappeared as it usually happens. Anyway, lots happened over these few months. Mainly, I visited my relatives in Ukraine, and while it was a sad visit, it was also nice. After getting back home, I started working on my art as soon as possible. I realized, I haven’t posted in a long time, and I’ve got lots of not digitized artworks. Therefore, I decided to photograph my artworks. Here’s my art photography rig. It’s very simple!

Photography Rig

I’ve got a white cardboard background on the floor, light from widows on the right, and a tripod with video head over the art. As for the camera, I’m using my trusted Canon 5D mark iii DSLR with 16-35mm f/4L Canon lens. Additionally, I’m using a remote trigger so that I don’t have to click the camera every time. I can just sit on the floor, push the button on remote, switch the artwork, push it again. It’s a very easy and quick shooting process.

Take a Break!

As you can see from the photograph, I do enjoy my breaks! After setting up this photography rig, I took some time to drink tea before actually shooting any of the art. I think it’s important to enjoy the process, and for me that includes several minutes of mental and physical rest. With that in mind, take your time in anything you do and enjoy the process as well as the results!

Hi! My name is Oksana Ossipov, and I’m a visual artist and photographer. I was born in Ukraine and currently reside in the area of Dallas, Texas. My formal education includes a BFA in Digital Media Art from San Jose State University. After moving to Texas, I started to focus on my fine art skills and figurative art in particular. I studied for 5 years under Michael Mentler at the Society of Figurative Arts. Through my life, I’ve also acquired a multitude of skills that include web development, sculpting, photography, art studio and business management, and baking awesome blueberry scones! I’ve been trying to fully devote myself to the art over the past few years. I’m trying to learn and practice as much as I can. However, the workshop, class, and art supply costs present a certain financial challenge. If you like my work and want to support me, I would truly appreciate it! I have a shop full of artworks and creations, but even just sharing my art or social media pages would help a lot. Thank you so much!
