Make sure your name is on all materials. The following is a list of techniques to help you assemble slides that will represent your original artwork faithfully. To avoid reflections 2-D work should not have glass or plexi covering. Use a 35mm single lens reflex camera. A tripod and cable release will prevent blurred pictures at slow speeds.
Black cloth reflects less than black paper.
Avoid any busy background that detracts from the artwork. It is important to purchase the correct film for your light source. Each film chemistry is made for one kind of light. Use daylight film for outdoors and tungsten film with tungsten lights for indoors. Do not mix light sources.
