Art buyers are very interested in seeing personal work and learning as much about who the photographer is. This is directly related to how much more we share more of who we are on blogs and social media, and particular to photographers—where they can discuss their inspirations, their process and stories behind their shoots. Art buyers recognize that this helps them know more about what a photographer would bring to a job and what they would be like to work with. Some art buyers have even said they are very open to being ‘friended’ by photographers they have a relationship with.

  1. This is very uplifting. Thanks for sharing.

  2. Yes. This is very encouraging. I felt I had to hold back.

  3. Really great post. I believe this approach is actually mandatory for all industries. Editors/curators are faced with insane amounts incredible creativity from around the globe. Feeling connected to the actual human, even in a small way, plays a huge role in decision-making.

  4. They are open to being friended by photographers they have a relationship with? Aren’t most people?
