Galleries Research

  Commercial These are classed as businesses with the main goal of achieving a profit. Collectors who visit these galleries will buy artwork that has been on display and then both the artist and the gallery will receive a percentage of the commission each. Commercial can be seen as quite strict places to get work put on display as they will only look at and display work that they feel will sell the easiest as they have business targets to achieve. However, if you wish to set up your own commercial gallery it will take a long time due to the initial investments you require to get the gallery off and running. Along with financial restraints you will need to ensure you can find artists who would like to have their work on display and sold, so it will require artist connections along with clients who are eager to buy artwork. An example of a commercial gallery is The Brick Lane Gallery in London which specialises in displaying Fine Art pieces. Artist Run These are galleries that are ru...

Ethics and Photography Research

In photography ethics can play a very vital role in how individuals produce and create work due to restraints, whether that is legal or classed as a gentleman's agreement amongst other members of the art world.

My Career

When i think about photography my first instinct goes towards fashion and portraiture. However, recently i have begun exploring more landscapes, but at the moment fashion is my biggest interest. I began studying and making fashion images since the age of 12 and all my life i have kept up with fashion trends and my own style all my life. I gained a connection to making these images as my connections with people began to expand due to the fact a lot of my friends are very stylish themselves and therefore made a lot of sense to capture them. As i develop my work and my status in the industry i want to share my work in numerous places so my images and style become much more recognised. Once i have work in multiple locations and people from those areas are finding my work then i will start looking at expanding outside of local areas and connecting with more regional individuals, places and companies to continue expanding.  In the fashion world a photographer can be vital but there is a ...
