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.
instablaster.
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.
This was absolutely brilliant. Thank you for putting it together.
thanks for the resources, the links to the galleries and organisations are really valuable
You're really very good at these podcasts. Always very informative and well presented!
your talk is really inspirational thank you very much
I'd just like to say thank you. You've really opened up my mind.
I'll keep listening and sharing your insights so that I be better on my photography. Thank you so much.
Thank you so much for this! I've figured out I want to go the fine art route
and finally I get the explanation about fine art photography. thanks a lot my friend Ted. :)
Great video! Currently reading marketing fine art photography and this is some good extra info.
I love this channel!
It a lovely presentation. Love it all through. Thanks.
Love this video. Hope to see more of this topic.
Another very good piece Ted.
Always informative...thanks Ted.
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 :)
Your videos are great. Thanks.
Wonderful video, thank you.
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 found myself as a photographer. Something I'm actually good at. Life changing
Thank you so much, very helpful as well as inspiring. Cheers!
Very nice channel..love it..also i suggest you to try once Youpic to explore this art...best of luck!
I like your presentations.
amazing channel!!
Excellent! Thank you!
Same here in the Netherlands!
The art game Ted, man the art game.
Thanks, Ted.
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"?
they simply need a reason to charge more
Zach Fang lol
I agree entirely!
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.
it means they are high end wedding photographer.....nothing more. You cannot be a wedding photographer and fine artist....they are completely separate
Fine art being very difficult is an understatement when you first start.
Are you familiar with the photographer Alex Meidany?
love it
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.*
@ 8:04 ... Josef Hoflehner ... Heavy on minimalism ... Oxymoron ... :P
wow.. wow..
Thanks , Now I understand a little better. J
Talk about "gift of the gabb"...
...and the gift of the comment.
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.
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?
I miss these types of videos... It seems that a lot of new videos are focused on new gears
Title is a bit misleading. I thought this was about fine art photography, not everything around fine art photography.
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~!
It's sad that people like Ken Rockwell and the know-nothings on DigitalRev are the most listened-to photographers.
i thought you were going to say "you're going to notice most of these are men"
You haven't watched enough of my show. I've covered lots of women.
no i just mean thats what jumped out at me looking at the list of artist.
You had to make it political, huh?
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?
i doubt you'll find images in a big enough resolution
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.
