This workshop is structured to provide both foundational knowledge and practical experience. The morning session will feature a presentation and group discussion, while the afternoon will focus on live demonstrations and hands-on practice.

➡️The purposes and uses of object photography
➡️Policies and strategies for successful digitization
➡️Digital file preservation
➡️Cameras and other equipment
➡️Photo editing techniques
➡️Tips for accomplishing all of this on a small budget

Participants will have the opportunity to work at several photography stations set up for capturing both 2D and 3D objects—including photos, negatives, tiny items, and even furniture.
