Help with photography in perpetually bad lighting.
Hi brains trust! I need your help with some low cost, low tech ideas for photographing my work. The lighting in our house is terrible at the best of times, it's a 1950's house with wide eaves and my studio is down in the front of the house with one window which faces east which has a big fern in front of it blocking a lot of light. I end up making much of my work in the evening once my kiddos are in bed and inevitably that means I have work ready to photograph with no natural light remaining. Obviously I could wait until the next day to take photos which is what I often do, but I'm curious if anyone has tips or hacks that they've managed to make work for setting up photos in the evening? Thanks

It is quite challenging yes. If you have two lights that give out the same colour and light, angle them at the work at 45 degrees on each side of the art piece. You may need to spend some time adjusting them until you get it right. Use a tripod too.
