Photography is a buyer's market. Digital photography has flooded the market with the work of photography an endless sea of photographers who want to sell. This article tries to teach you, I like to start selling your photography.
We see every day, photos, and many of them in connection with advertising. Photos of beautiful landscapes, people can not identify, are not of interest to buyers at an art fair. For example, I live in Naples, Florida. I havedozens of art fairs and one rings true every time: Rarely buyers purchase a beautiful photo of a beach scene, if they know where is the scene. You want to buy photos of local attractions. You want to feel connected with photography. A "generic" landscape photo, not the buyer can not identify a $ 2 might as well be poster at WalMart. The first lesson to learn is, photographs of local landscapes. What people are proud of your city? The beautifulMountains around the city? The pier out into the bay? The lights of the city at Christmas time? Every city has something beautiful. However, remember that you photograph the scene in a way that they do not have a look plain or ordinary. Dress up the scene in good light and make it dramatic.
If you plan on showing off your work, you have to be ruthless. Reckless with it. Take all of your best pictures and put them in a folder on your computer. Viewthrough each picture and ask yourself: "Would this picture 'wow' someone who saw it for the first time, and who was not there, see the scene first hand?" If the answer is no, then take to show from your art. If the answer is yes, then choose 10 of your friends who have the least sense of tact and ask if they are enthusiastic. "Photography is subjective, so you might get conflicting answers, but remember ... if it does not wow them 10,000 other pictures are available. Including less-than-wow "Pictures in your gallery will drag down the perceived value of your art.
You can be proud of the technical perfection of the images, and photo-club could be proud of, but the average time take care of small works of art buyers is not easy. The truth is that shoppers buy what they take as well and just do not, regardless of whether an image technical imperfections. The buyer simply does not care if you use a 1D Mark IV or a Canon Rebel XT. The proof is in the pudding.
So where are you going toSell your local fine art photography? A few things that could try to have art fairs (if you can not see, you are not looking, because they all) by working in stores for free coffee to their store and then decorate your a sticker on each picture to buy for people or submitting articles to your local newspaper with a link to your website.
Good luck in selling your art photography. The truth is that the market is so saturated that it is extremelyhard to sell. It plays the ostrich, you have to go local. Make your town proud of your city.
