Artist Photo Guide

These are the photo standards for listings. Meeting them helps a work read clearly on a large artwork page.

Required

A sharp, well-lit photograph of the work itself, cropped squarely, with no cluttered background.
True color; no heavy filters.
The full work in the frame, plus at least one detail and, for dimensional work, a side or scale view.
List medium, dimensions (height × width × depth, in inches or centimeters), year, and place (lake, county or town).
Limited editions: show the edition number and size.

Room views

Optional room or wall mockups may be used to suggest scale. They must not be captioned as an installation photograph if they are a mockup. The empty-frame room images on this site are generic AI stand-ins, not pictures of real works.

Artist portraits

Optional. If you include a portrait or studio photo, it should be one you have the right to use. The hand-and-studio images on this site are generic placeholders with no identifiable faces; they are not pictures of real participating artists.

Do not

Do not submit screenshots of other people’s photos, watermarks you do not own, or images you cannot license.
Do not invent exhibition views or collector interiors.
