How do I photograph the Screen Printing aesthetic?+
Color under pressure: one screen, one pull, one irreversible layer at a time. Photograph the pull, flood, lift, and reveal as a sequence; registration and repetition are the story, not background decoration
What shots should I get for a Screen Printing photo shoot?+
Capture: Low diagonal action frame along the screen as the printer pulls the squeegee toward camera; Macro detail of wet opaque ink bridging the mesh before it clears; Overhead registration setup with crop marks, acetate positives, tape, and test pulls; Drying rack filled with the same composition evolving through successive color layers; Portrait beside a wall of hand-pulled posters, ink-stained hands held naturally at the waist.

Mix cool industrial overhead light with direct flash so mesh, wet ink, and paper tooth remain visible; allow one saturated practical accent
