Crusade For Your Art: Best Practices For Fine Art Photographers is a must-read for anyone who works in the fine art photography realm. Photographers at all stages of their careers and practice will be well-served to read this guide cover-to-cover, and photography collectors and enthusiasts can also learn a lot within these pages that will help them better understand an artists business. Jennifer Schwartz answers hundreds of the most common questions and hundreds more that people are probably scared to ask. Who would think to write out a step-by-step guide on how an artist can best use Twitter? Jennifer Schwartz did. The contributing authors offer advice based upon years of experience and countless hours of observation. Jennifer Schwartz takes the mystery out of the fine art photography world by outlining the business and taking the photographer through the entire process of creating and sharing photographs. As the author says, its a lot of work, but this book removes one of the biggest tasks of all identifying what needs to be done.

The 21st-century photography world is at once complex and accessible an aspiring artist needs an eye, the will, and a good map to explore the terrain. This welcome and highly readable book combines Jennifer Schwartzs amazing breadth of knowledge about guiding photographers on their journey with trenchant insights from photo-world pros on both sides of the reviewing table. Between them all, the landscape of photography seems friendlier, clearer, and maybe even rewarding. Jen of Art leads an inspiring crusade!

Young photographers need this information. While academic programs at colleges and universities are developing new art talents with incredible work, most are not offering enough in professional practices and preparation to support fine art careers. This book offers a great resource for the practical, hands-on information that artists need to navigate the marketplace. With both traditional and innovative approaches on promoting and exhibiting work, as well as developing relationships with galleries, curators and collectors, it is an easy read, full of invaluable advice and direction for entering the art world today.

Dedication

For the photographers you are an inspiration.

The secret of getting ahead is getting started.

MARK TWAIN

Introduction
Introduction

The art world has been turned on its head, and no one knows what to do about it. Long-time gallerists tell stories of mythic proportions about the days when they could not keep art on the walls. With more and more people buying art online and in alternative venues, many traditional galleries cannot stay in business.

Career photographers talk about the days when career photographers existed. Days when they could support themselves on their art and they recognized the value of their work. Days when photographers would not dare give it away for the glory of a photo credit.

Up-and-coming photographers lament the digital era where everyone with an SLR (or better yet, an iPhone) calls himself a photographer and layers and filters can turn the dullest images into something... special.

Nostalgia is easier than change. Routine is more comfortable than innovation. The past is like looking through a soft-focus filter, while the present has a hard-edge.

And yet. The truth is, we have the tools to take this upside-down art world and own it. The Internet has leveled the playing field for everyone, and may the best photographers and galleries win. We can take things into our own hands, and we can create our careers. Gone are the days of sending slides to galleries and waiting for the call that would signal the start of something. Photographers with talent, creativity, and ambition can start their own fire.

So rise up. Take your career by the reins. Be thoughtful, purposeful, and develop a plan to get you where you want to go. Form a plan, tighten your work, create your brand, and launch your project.

Make your mark on the world.

Making the Work

PART I

Making the Work

First you have to make the work.

This guide addresses bodies of work or projects. A body of work or photographic project is typically twenty strong images with a cohesive concept, feeling, and look. To get to a portfolio of twenty strong images, a photographer usually makes significantly more over a long period of time. Rarely does a photographer go on a two-week trip and return with a depth and breadth of imagery to constitute a full, complete body of work.
