Two episodes ago we talked about making a living in commercial photography. In this episode we will look at the other side of professional photography and examine how making a living as a fine artist works. Primarily we will be looking at this from a gallery perspective.
Excellent! Thank you!
I'd just like to say thank you. You've really opened up my mind.
I miss these types of videos… It seems that a lot of new videos are focused on new gears
I'll keep listening and sharing your insights so that I be better on my photography. Thank you so much.
Ah but you are never alone when you moan!
Great video! Currently reading marketing fine art photography and this is some good extra info.
Maybe photography needs to die. So it can come back.
love it
Title is a bit misleading. I thought this was about fine art photography, not everything around fine art photography.
if these galleries put their pictures on the internet where's the point in buying them? Just print the ones you like, et voila. How can you sell something, that's not even a thing, like a digital photograph?
Your videos are great. Thanks.
Are you familiar with the photographer Alex Meidany?
Wonderful video, thank you.
photographers such as yourself should Band together ans figure out what "Professional" is and then create a Cert that people can Earn
a degree… A Certification, an award, a Guild or several.
…And set standards
become the authority on the subject YOU already are but I mean make it offical and THEN make peoplebaware of it.
Why do you miss the art show circuit? My Luminous Views Gallery provides a living for me (albeit I print finish and frame everything myself) and I often get comments that what I do is the best thing folks have seen. I mean what about Lik? Most those names you drop in total could never come close the revenue Lik has generated in a very short time. Galleries and the nepotism that they push are not real businesses that many photographers at the shows do. Why do you miss that? I have sold over 6000 prints I created and printed on my own. Your advice asking curators opinions is terrible advice. Paying for a booth at a farmers market is a much way to gauge opportunity -no?
your talk is really inspirational thank you very much
Thank you so much for this! I've figured out I want to go the fine art route
I found myself as a photographer. Something I'm actually good at. Life changing
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you for putting it together.
Thank you so much Ted for this video and for your podcast in general. I have allowed my passion for photography to grow for the past few years, and now I'm to the point where I've decided that I really want to be a fine art photographer (regardless of how long it takes). I thought about making that decision recently. This video cements my decision.
wow.. wow..
Thanks , Now I understand a little better. J
I find a lot of wedding photographers calling themselves "fine art wedding photographer", somehow, I find that to be very contradictory. What does it mean to be a "fine art wedding photographer"?
About what photographers can do about the hiring policy, or the the lack of, of corporations, it's really unfortunate that there are no unions on the US so that you can fight for your rights as workers and it's also very unfortunate that the US media is so anti-union that people can't even realise the obvious move for demanding rights as a worker.
i thought you were going to say "you're going to notice most of these are men"
@ 8:04 … Josef Hoflehner … Heavy on minimalism … Oxymoron … 😛
Thanks, Ted.
