Hi all,
I am hoping that someone here can help me with a specific issue I have!!!
My wife is an artist and paints on canvases usually about 100cm x 100cm. She used thick oil and acrylic paint and the paintings are very textured.
I use a Nikon D3000 with a 18-55mm standard lens to take picture for sending to clients and agents etc.
At the moment I am struggling to get a true colour likeness of the painting as there are very colourful and some colour seem to get lost. I am also finding it hard to capture the depth and texture of the painting. My poor photography is reflecting bad on my wife’s brilliant work.
I was wondering if I get a macro lens this would help with the colour and detail I am trying to achieve.
Any help\suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you!
Shane Horkan
P.S. you can see some of my poor photography and my wife great work at
