    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.

    Hey Ted. Could you please do an updated version of this? Maybe include Fine art Landscape and portraiture. Love your chancel, my favorite by far.

    To everyone watching this channel: let's remember to donate. Whatever you can is fine. $25-$50 is a small price to help Ted. He's is putting out there the best material by far or any photography channel. It's only fair we give something back.

    This is by far more interesting content than gear reviews or top 5 things videos.

    Mate your discussion pieces are very enjoyable. My Photography is art to me and I'm taken back by photographers who won't attempt art, experiment or use anything less than the best, but each to their own and I'm still having heap of fun

    These videos have a profound effect on me as a photographer. The excellent curation you make for every video is extremely good.
    Best photography channel, hands down.

    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.

    It's sad but truth to be told, photography is changing for the better. Painters used to be the commercial artists and when photography started look how much it changed and how awesome it became. The same will happen and so the Spring finally turns into Summer :)

    Fine art in 2013 is very self-conscious about being an 'investment' from a buyer perspective. Artists are often wise if they secure professional business representation to deal with the cut-throat mechanics on the business end of fine art photography. This was an excellent introduction, Ted. BTW: do you do any color grading on your videos?

    Just to add to the other comments asking for an updated version - if you do get around to making an updated version, could you detail the very first steps? I've never been professionally trained and sometimes I feel like the world of galleries are completely alien to me

    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"?

    • @fangzhenyuinca

      they simply need a reason to charge more

      I took a sort-of fine art photograph of a woman in a wedding dress. That said, I don't consider myself a wedding photographer.

    • @enrutuu6052
      @enrutuu6052 5 років тому

      it means they are high end wedding photographer.....nothing more. You cannot be a wedding photographer and fine artist....they are completely separate

    Ted, photography is far from dead. In a digital world and a film renaissance, there's trillions of images taken every day. What's changed is how photograpers make a living. They become a brand on social media and then open workshops and market their merchandise.*

    I think that people will still pay money for a more professional image because they believe that the professional photographer has tricks and better gear and the know how to produce a world class photo that the customer does not. Whether this is true or not is another question but it is in the belief of the customer that holds the future of the Professional photographer.

  • @LuminousViewsGallery
    @LuminousViewsGallery 7 років тому +1

    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?

    Title is a bit misleading. I thought this was about fine art photography, not everything around fine art photography.

  • @JdMetal

    Yerp true...but somehow the rise of Digital...market is saturated....and confusing (some claim their are pro even though just starting out.) My 2cents~!

  • @ForeverAyrtonSenna

    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?

    • @emilio_mlx

  • @Chilcutte
    @Chilcutte 7 років тому +5

    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.
