[Leica] Thoughts on photographing art

[Adam Bridge]

I’ve been asked by a local artist to help her photograph and make prints of her paintings.

I was wondering if any of you who might have done this before can give some suggestions about best focal-length lens to use for this? I was thinking that, longer is better? I’ll be shooting work that’s lit with camera and art on tripod and easel, using remote shutter release etc.

Any thoughts on technique would be greatly appreciated.
