Are the art galleries in the Jordaan free?

Photography/Art galleries that exhibit young Students / photographers work?

  • Does anyone know any Photography / art galleries that like to be approached by young people about exhibiting and promoting art work? Most galleries (mainly the big galleries in London) showcase works by professional, world renowed artists. Are there any smaller galleries in London and the Southern counties that welcome people like students to help gain exposure and promote work? Im a 20 year old amateur photographer and would love to showcase my work at a small gallery and try to gain exposure which is very difficult especially for young artists.

  • Answer:

    Unfortunately, I cannot help with your specific request because I am not in your area. However, I do have a bit of advice for you. Always act as if you are who you wish to become. You're not young. You're 20 years old. Michelangelo was 23 when he began the Pietà. And if you created works of art, you're not an amateur, you're an artist. When you do find a gallery, don't approach them as a young amateur. Who would want to display the work of someone that describes themself this way? Approach them, and the rest of the world, as an artist.

I can't really add anything else that has not already been said. Sorry this happened to you. What I wish is that everyone who is thinking of doing the same thing could see and read this. Now you see why any knowledgeable photographer here ALWAYS BEGS for people to NOT do weddings when they have no experience. On any given day there are people on here saying how they are about to do their first wedding, yet they have no clue how to use their equipment, if they even have decent equipment. Yes, professional photography is NOT just owning a fancy camera... sorry you have found this out the hard way. I am assuming there was no manner or style of contract signed between you and your Aunt... so at least she has no grounds to sue you.... you probably will just have some very ill feelings for a long time... but hopefully she will get over it and maybe there are some decent photos from others that were there. steve EDIT... to Pooky... yea, a couple hours after I put up my answer that thought occured to me.... WHY on Earth would someone not take some looks at the monitor to see what they were getting during the shoot. I am NOT a "chimper" who has to look at EVERY shot immediately after it is taken, I think that is stupid and wastes battery power and time... but... sheesh.... to take "over 1200" shots and not look once at what you have? Another thing just occured to me. Obviously, if taking that many shots, (which is totally ridiculous anyway), he was probably letting the camera fire off in continuous mode much of the time, and the flash did not have time to recharge.... Oh me.... digital amateurs. We all need to save this entire thread and post the link anytime the newbies pop up asking "what settings do I need to put in my new DSLR for my first wedding" questions.
