The value of knowledge dropped in this video is just insane. This is a very rare insight into this business and a must-watch for anyone dreaming about this career. Thank you so much Thomas (and B&H)!

there's a lot of do's and don'ts in this information. Very daunting dealing with a gallery, so much so that there needs to be formal training to put together your portfolio and the proper etiquette to even approach one. Quite intimidating highbrow in this business.

Great info Mr. Werner, and thanks for hosting B&H. I have photos being curated by the Smithsonian and want to prepare for exposure to other markets. Are there conflicts with selling the same photo works online as well as in a gallery and in corporate spaces/ books? Thanks again!

13:00, 15:40 create a fine art space, pricing. 20:00 Framing: Frame with white frames so the photograph rather than the frame stands out in the gallery. Keep costs down with the choices you make with frsme and matting so that you don't have to put your prices up on your prints due to picture framing costs. 22:40 Choose thd right business model for your photographs

Thank you very much for this

Excellent presentation, with many useful and insightful tips about presenting your work. You made a number of critical references re: the submission of ink jet prints. Are ink jet prints considered unacceptable for gallery or museum submissions, regardless of the quality of the print? I hadn't heard that before and wondered if that's what you meant. If that's the case are there any online labs you'd recommend? Thanks again for sharing your knowledge and experience.

Wonder why your question was never answered. I have the same question and I'm sure others do too. Is the inkjet print so unacceptable to galleries that they don't even bother discussing it? I think you present a very valid and important question.

@@sl2608 Thanks for the additional feedback. I guess since this event was presented by B&H and not Tom's own KZread channel either B&H would have to respond (assuming they knew the answer) or forward it to Tom. I'm disappointed I didn't receive a reply to my question, but I'm not surprised. Regarding my question it may have to do with the permanence of inkjet ink, or lack thereof. But obviously if I knew for sure I wouldn't have asked the question. So I guess I'm right back where I started.

@@clydehamilton8138 My understanding, from doing extensive research and asking as many printing experts as I can, is that galleries want pigment ink prints only. Yet I have also heard that some galleries and museums accept Fuji Crystal Archive prints. Now this is where my confusion starts. In Wilhelm Research Institute tests, if I have this right, Chromalife 100+ dye based inks showed more longevity and fade resistance than the Type-C Fuji Crystal Archive prints, a silver halide paper. So if the Chromalife 100+ dyes have caught up to and surpassed these Type-C prints that are accepted by galleries, why not consider dye-ink jet prints also in a gallery? Yes, I know that pigment inks have the greatest fade resistance. But comparing Type-C longevity with Chromalife 100+ dye inkjet prints, the dye prints have at least the same longevity and most likely greater. The C prints are accepted, the dye inkjet prints not. So that gets us back to your question. Why the rejection of inkjet prints made with the new, long-lasting, synthetic dye-based inks like Chromalife 100+? Not pigment vs dye based, but Type-C vs. dye based.

@@sl2608 Those are all valid points. Sometime standards and norms are established based on past practices and once they become the benchmark for that procedure or process they remain in place, even if other options become available. They may change, but can take years or decades. It might be more effective to identify galleries that have accepted the additional processes and become better acquainted with their acceptance policies.

Excellent presentation - rich in knowledge and experience. However, if I had a dollar for every time the presenter says, "right?!" I wouldn't need to sell my photographs.

funny to see that everybody on the video is over 60 years old,all young artists watch it on youtube..

Fine Art often wrongly put in capitals like I have is just any interpretation of that which the artist sees. Most people make this mistake when they see 'minimalism', which is an artform within the definition of 'art'. Ipso facto by the very nature of art itself ALL photographers whether pro, amatuer, hobbyists, keen enthusiasts or camera phone junies are by definition 'fine artists'.

Agree. The business side of fine art photography sounds phony and contrived to me. Dressing up someone's photos of garbage by giving them a poetic sounding title and a socially aware "concept" and suddenly it's great "art". And now it's gallery "worthy". Rather arrogant and phony to me and just a snobby form of marketing.

Glad I don't have to work with that guy.
