I will be creating another catalog for the 2025 Extreme Quilters show. The best quilt photos are those that are taken before arriving at the gallery. I will photograph quilts hung at the show, but the lighting and my ability to photograph the quilts straight on are compromised.
Please send photos of your quilts with the following considerations:
1. Send a high resolution jpeg (300 dpi or at least 3MB) file for each quilt.
2. Fill the photo frame as much as possible with the quilt, and take the picture straight on so the camera is parallel with the quilt (i.e. so that the quilt is not distorted). I pin my quilts to a design wall to make sure they are flat and use a tripod with a level to get a good straight on, square shot.
3. Use good lighting without shadows. Cloudy or early daylight is best to avoid strong shadows or over-exposing.
4. Save as a .jpeg file.
5. Name each picture file with the following information:
YourLastName_QuiltTitle.jpeg (example: Jurss_Unraveled.jpeg)
6. Email your photos to me at ljurss@roadrunner.com. You may need to send a few photos at a time if you have size restriction on your email account. If you have any questions, contact me.
