Jerry McCollum to Provide Free Photographing Fine Art Demo at Artisans at Dahmen Barn, October 8-9, 2011

Master technical photographer Jerry McCollum of PalouseWorks Studio will be demonstrating fine art lighting and reproduction techniques for paintings, glassware, pottery and sculpture at Dahmen Barn in Uniontown on October 8 and 9, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Artists may attend free.

Artists who wish to use this opportunity to have their work photographed for publication or commercial reproduction (cards, prints) can email or contact Jerry prior to the demonstrations at 509-592-6827 or mrjerryjm@palouse.com. PalouseWorks Studio is also on Facebook. Jerry may be contacted there as well. Otherwise, there is no need to pre-register.
Fine art reproduction requires special lighting and technical techniques to be of museum and reproduction quality. Jerry has constructed a special mobile studio specifically for fine art reproduction which will be set up in the Dahmen Barn gallery for artists to learn how to photograph their own work. On Saturday, Jerry will be demonstrating lighting of flat art. On Sunday, lighting and photography of three dimensional artworks (glassware, pottery, jewelry, sculpture) will be featured.

Jerry is a multiple award-winning photographer whose work appears in countless books, journals, magazines and ad campaigns. His clients include numerous fine artists in the Puget Sound and Portland, Oregon regions. His own fine art is currently featured on the cover of the most current phone book for Moscow, Pullman and Palouse.
