You've created a gorgeous work of art, and the next step is to adequately capture its beauty for your product listing. The question is, where do you start? Here are a few quick tips for photographing your art prints.
Take the glass out of the frame
When the glass is gone, there is no tricky reflection to worry about!

Build a personal feel by holding the print. You can do this by setting up a tripod and putting your camera on a timer, or have someone photograph you.

Or be ultra-cute, like Jesiiii, and have a couple holding the print for you.
Get creative and hang the print using clips and twine, clothespins and string, or washi tape against a neutral background. This gives customers an idea of how to display the print as well as giving sense of scale.
If your print is on stiff paper, lean it against something small a few inches away from your backdrop.
Add props with the print
Use props that fit the theme of the print as an addition to the background. Make sure when shooting that the subject stays in focus, not the props.
