Website of the Week 5.24.06
This week's website of the week is Luminous-landscape.com, but more specifically, an article by Alain Briot called Being an Artist in Business.
Some of us photographers, whether working in stock, commercial, portraiture, or events, or whatever, think about, or are making attempts, to create and sell fine art prints. Others are going directly for the fine art market. Being an Artist (which is another of Alain's articles found Here) is different than Being an Artist in Business, which means you're attempting or wanting to make a living at being an artist.
Alain tells his story of becoming an Artist in Business, which is a good way to get the point across that it's not just about shooting pictures. Getting his start in the early days of digital, Alain provides some insights, if you don't already know, about the many cons of the digital process and getting your work seen (and purchased!). Most of us trying to be Artists in Business, can relate to many of the issues he has gone through, but will also find the article interesting as well as informative.
Enjoy.

I had a look at your website. You've got good delineation of your images and you cover a broad range of subjects. Some of us enjoy all aspects of photography, seeing, and experiencing all the world has to offer us rather than limiting ourselves to a small range of options. Keep up the good work.
