I have my first exhibition!
Thanks to Dave at the Boston Tea Party in Bath (where Bobbie currently works), I have a month slot this January with my photos mounted and framed on the wall.
This coincides with much organising and admin. I am setting up my website with Ani and organising an online sales platform through Fine Art America. Generally feeling pro-active and positive towards photography in general, despite being floored almost daily by astonishingly good landscape photographers I keep finding - just keep shooting.
The Boston's gallery is based on the overriding themes in what I see as my most successful work to date (though much of it is recent - originating in the last two holidays to Pembrokeshire.) The collection shows a selection of my landscapes, seascapes and cloudscapes, with a number of macro nature photographs thrown in as I feel I have made much improvement in this area recently.
The main focus is on expansive landscape pieces, simple geometries drawing you in to the greater detail, giving a sense of being in a wild place and out of touch with the busyness of humanity for a second - at least that is part of the intention. The macro pieces have a similar kind of aim I suppose, though simply put I love the soft DOF and delicate detail in macro flowers.
To some respect the more colourful and lively photos have been preferred for this, as the purpose of the exhibition is to brighten up the café. I think also that it will give me my best chance at sales in this environment.
It's been difficult and weird to try to set a price to prints... and at the same time much more exciting than I was expecting to see my work realised for the first time.
The Exhibition:
