Excellent book for starters and undoubtedly for those with experience!By PonchoClear writing with meaningful and practical information for anyone that is starting to exhibiting in photography.100% helpful from start to finish!5 of 7 people found the following review helpful. Not exactly what I expected.By John GerechtI was hoping for a book that would help me exhibit my work; but this is for a more high level exhibit. Im a very advanced amateur and want to exhibit my work at a local; small level. Some of it is relevant to my needs; but much of it is for professional photographers exhibiting at a very high level of professionalism; not for someone trying to put together a small exhibit at a local coffee shop.Still; a very good book and worth reading.2 of 2 people found the following review helpful. Showing ImagesBy Conrad J. ObregonAny photographer who expects to make at least a portion of a living from fine arts photography will have to exhibit his or her photographs. Setting up a website is not likely to do the trick; even with a lot of on-line marketing. Shirley Reads book covers every aspect of exhibiting photography.The book starts out discussing the venues in which a photographer can exhibit; as well as alternative kinds of exhibitions. Read identifies the role of the curator and gallery owner. She discusses the planning process in great detail; and while this might seem like common sense; Im certain almost anyone who has ever had a show will look back at things they didnt consider. Read covers these in detail; whether it is writing text for press releases; invitations and image captions or actually hanging the work. The book also includes case studies from other photographers. Alas; they are mostly stories of unexpected problems and disappointments. Despite the fact that the case studies are printed with white lettering on grey backgrounds; making the act of reading difficult; they shouldnt be skipped because they are rife with warnings.Most of the advice is quite practical including my favorite; the instruction that; if you cut yourself on glass during the hanging; immediately step away from the work to avoid bleeding on it. This edition includes instructions on how to approach a gallery; and one which I wish I had read earlier in my exhibiting life; what to do during the private view (as its called in England; instead of the American "opening"). Work the crowd! Avoid alcohol!This is the second edition of this book and it contains a lot of information that wasnt in the first edition as well as updates resulting from the advances in digital photography. The book is dense and not a quick read; so one might be tempted to skim some parts. Dont. You might miss an important hint that will help you get the most from your exhibition.
