Photography
Before your artwork can be included in a printed portfolio, a digital slide show
or a website, you have to have suitable images of your artwork. Digital
cameras are ideal for capturing images which can be easily processed and
modified for their intended use. For example, high resolution print quality
images or low resolution ones for quick loading for computer monitors and
transferring them via the internet.
Professional photographers can produce the best
reproductions at prices appropriate for such Rolls-Royce quality, however, I can
capture suitable quality images of your paintings or sculptures at a more
economical rate.
Portfolio
A printed portfolio is an essential tool for presenting your artist profile,
including CV, artist statement and most importantly your artworks. Such a
portfolio may consist a single page with images or an extensive presentation
brochure with dedicated pages describing your background, art education, artist
statement and philosophy, exhibition history and coloured reproduction of your
artworks with appropriate captions.

Web Design
While I am not a professional web designer, Ii have designed and I am
maintaining a number of websites, including this one. No bells and
whistles, no Java script or Flash software, just a basic down to earth website.
Easy to navigate, lots of information and images and a reliable structure.
If you would be happy with such a set up, do not hesitate to contact me and
negotiate a mutually satisfactory arrangement.
For those who do not know how to update their web
and upload to a host server, I am prepared to explain the basic principles
involved and teach you how to go about self-managing your web.
Improving ranking in search engines
Having a website on the internet is only the first step. It is also
necessary to increase your ranking in search engines, such as Google, so when
people search for your kind of art, they can find your web more readily.
There are a number of methods and "tricks" to use
for improving your chances, not necessarily applied by professional web
designers, because it is another specialist area and can be very time consuming
and painstaking work.
What I learned over many years, I am prepared to
share it, if asked for.
