Unexpected Opportunities in Photography Sales and Networking.

Jun 29

I love it when an Opportunity to sell your work and get it out to be seen happens. Recently I was contacted by one of the organizations I am involved in, USVAA, and they were wanting a couple images to use for Social Media posts for the 4th of July. I didn’t have much in my portfolio that fit the holiday so I knew I would have to go find the images! It was a little hard since not a lot of 4th of July decorations were up yet. I went to my peers at Little Egypt Art Association and asked for good ideas and locations and as always they came through.

So I grabbed the camera and went and got the photos. Keith at USVAA like 2 of the 4 I sent him, and now my work is getting seen by more people. All this happened because I went looking for groups and organizations that I can get involved in and network with.

Moral of this story is be involved! The more people who know what you do, and like you because you have built a relationship with them, will open doors. Work with people who also love and appreciate the Arts. Last when presented with that opportunity jump at the chance!!!
