I'm definitely no photography professional, but I have picked up some tips for photographing your art with a digital camera from different sources and my own experimentation.
1.) use the macro setting (designated most often by a little flower symbol)
2.) photograph in natural light (morning light seems to work best) or use a lightbox (more on lightboxes in a later post)
3.) if it's too cold to be outside, take the picture on a sunny windowsill
4.) get up close, but don't lean into the art piece too much (you might leave a shadow in the picture)
5.) I don't have one yet, but I've heard a tripod really helps!
6.) a piece of white posterboard is a good background for most art-try to keep one handy
