The tutorial covers camera setup, including positioning and using a tripod, and offers tips for photographing three-dimensional artwork with a backdrop. It concludes with advice on editing images to ensure they accurately represent the artwork.

Why is natural lighting preferred for two-dimensional artwork documentation?

• It requires less equipment.
