Fine art photography blogs have changed the landscape for sharing and reviewing work. Blogs are more personal and idiosyncratic while attracting a wide audience, and doing so more quickly and inexpensively.  Photographers no longer have to wait for a review of a bricks-and-mortar exhibition by a very small group of print publications. The objective of this night is to inform photographers about fine art photography blogging:

• how the blog came into being
• how the blog differs from photography covered in a print edition (if there is one)
• what bloggers like (or don’t) about blogging
• advantages and disadvantages about blogging
• who is the audience for the blog
• how  work is chosen for the blog
• how bloggers like (or don’t) to be contacted by photographers, agents or galleries
• how blogging has impacted fine art photography (or not)
