5 Tips for Making Your First Photography Exhibit a Success

You have an eye for photography, a gift that deserves to be shared. Selling a few pieces while doing so wouldn’t be so bad either. Who knows, your first exhibition could be the beginning of a lucrative and joyful sideline or even career. Anyone’s first photography exhibition is an exhilarating experience. With some helpful tips, elbow grease, and a professional service for high-quality photo prints, you can make that experience a reality.

 

Photo Prints
Keep the Upfront Expense in Mind
 
Getting to a place in which you could begin making money from sales does require some upfront expense. You may have to pay a rental fee for the exhibition space. The cost of mounting and framing your photos can be significant. There may be associated advertising and marketing costs as well.
 
Focus on High-Quality Printing
 
As beautiful and compelling as your images are, their impact on the viewer is going to be influenced considerably by the quality of their printing. The key is to use a photograph printing service that professional photographers and artists turn to for their gallery-quality prints. Look for a service that features fine art prints from a Hahnemühle Certified Lab and printed on actual Hahnemühle paper.
 
Find the Right Print Medium
 
Finding the right medium for your prints can both set a thematic tone for the exhibition and can possibly save you money as well. Choose a digital photo printing service that can do wood prints for a more rustic theme or metal prints for a more modern aesthetic. For a sharp, clean look that doesn’t require framing, try acrylic prints, and if you want to really bring that gallery vibe, canvas prints are ideal.
 
Get Creative to Spread the Word
 
If you can think of a way to get the word out about your exhibition, make it happen. Post widely about it on social media and ask friends, fellow photographers, and anyone else in your circle to do the same. Send press releases to local newspapers and radio stations. If you can’t afford ad placements, local reporters and radio show hosts will often cover local arts events as a matter of interest to their audiences. If you have a direction connection, all the better. Print up and post notices in photography shops, at local co-ops, colleges, community centers, and anywhere else that might be frequented by people who may be interested in the work of a talented photographer.
 
Think Beyond the Gallery


An exhibition doesn’t have to be limited to an art gallery. Take some of your best work around to local coffee shops, cafes and for display in the lobbies and foyers of hotels, convention centers, and other public spaces. Community centers, theaters, and co-ops in which you left notices may be entirely willing to showcase some of your work as well. It’s a win-win—they get to beautify their space with your lovely photos, and you get exposure for your art.
