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)
