Chanté Gipson Project Update & Chapter 3 Reflection

Project Update

These are some of the photos I took this week for my series that I chose. I struggled a bit trying to come up with ideas, so I went on the internet searching for inspiration from other photographers who use abstraction in their work. However, I am still having some trouble. If anyone has any ideas or thoughts, please let me know. 

Chapter 3 Reflection Summary

Chapter three of Crusade for Your Art, the author discusses some of the ways a photographer should set goals for their work and figure out where they plan to be or go with it. When trying to get a work to sale or exhibited in a gallery, it is important to look at the work to determine if it would fit in a commercial or non-commercial venue. The author mentions some of the steps to take when submitting and making an exhibition proposal to a gallery. Additionally, the information that a photographer must give to a gallery is their bio, artist statement, intro page, exhibition details, thumbnails, a contact page and their CV, which is optional. A common goal for most contemporary photographers is to get the opportunity to make a book of the work and have it published. The first step to getting a publisher to publish one's book is to make a book proposal. Furthermore, some of the information that should be included in a book proposal is the title page, book description, audience, project overview, and sample content.
