Now, we're not gonna lie, we receive a flood of submissions that make us go, "Oh no, this isn't gonna cut it." We're talking images that are more blurry than Big Foot on a caffeine binge or darker than that cave you accidentally went walking in. Trust us, we've seen it all!

Our Art Photography Checklist is your secret weapon to capturing and submitting the perfect photo of your artwork, all while avoiding those dreaded publishing standards pitfalls. We've packed it chock-full of helpful information and quirky advice that will have you snapping like a pro in no time.
