In each issue of Fine Woodworking we publish close to a dozen photos of furniture and woodwork in our Gallery, celebrating the work of our readers. To have your work considered for publication in print please see below and follow the directions provided.

Photographing Your Work

Taking good photos of your work is one way to improve your chance of being featured in the magazine. Here are some tips:

• Shoot your work against a neutral background; a bed sheet or drop cloth will suffice.
• Make sure you have plenty of indirect light from windows or light fixtures.
• Take photos from many angles, overall and close up, to provide a complete presentation of your work.
• Clean the furniture, and don’t clutter the object with items such as books or collectibles.
• Do not alter the images or remove the background electronically.
