Presenting your work to other people is an exciting and responsible matter. Here, novice creators have the opportunity to discuss their work with the masters, to find out the opinion of an inexperienced audience, to draw an intermediate result in their creative activity. All this is necessary in order to move on.
You will need
Internet, money for printing photos.
Instruction manual
1
Search the Internet through the search engine for the maximum number of addresses and phone numbers of art galleries and any spaces intended for the presentation of artwork. Call everyone, ask if it is possible to organize an exhibition in their premises. Find out which galleries can take your work for free. It’s good if you have a specific goal, for example, with the help of an exhibition you want to introduce yourself as a professional photographer and thus want to attract future customers. It is important for the people who provide the room to know your true intentions. The option of holding an exhibition in a cafe, institute, orphanage, etc.
2
Make an event advertisement. Make a press release and send it to local media (TV channels, radio stations, newspapers, etc.). Post your ad on photography forums and sites. Attract as many people as possible, possibly through social networks, personal contacts, etc.
3
Think over an opening evening. Even if you are not going to have a “show” (calling musicians, reading poetry, giving a speech), take care of lighting, sound design (choose music that is similar in spirit to your work).
note
Make admission to the exhibition free. Your task is to have as many people as possible able to see the photos, so that the exhibition becomes an impetus for the next creative search. Paid entrance to the exhibition of a novice photographer can only be unnerving.
Useful advice
Contact cultural institutions supporting young photographers. They can help with the placement and even the printing of photographs in the event that your project has artistic value and does not pursue commercial goals.
