THE WORTH OF A PHOTOGRAPHER/ARTIST IS MEASURED IN EXPOSURE

THE WORTH OF A PHOTOGRAPHER/ARTIST IS MEASURED IN EXPOSURE

I have learned in the beginning that the worth of a photographer and artist is measured in the exposure that they receive. This exposure can be measured in work they have done that has been published for example. Published may be work used for brochures, DVD or CD covers, newspaper advertisements, magazine advertisements, POP displays, and corporate websites. The biggest compliment and type of exposure is to be featured in the news. It may be interviewed on the radio, written about in newspapers and magazines, or interviewed on local or national television news stations, or cable news. Obviously, to be interviewed for the news, the photographer or artist must have subject matter that is involves current events. Some of my most notable art pieces covered in the news have been of the fire fighters of 9/11, support for the troops, breast cancer, healthcare, civil rights, human trafficking and the protection of children.

Recently, I was on a conference call with my agents which included Brian Shires out of Chicago, Michael Resnik out of NYC, Teresa Sullivan out of Nashua, NH, Tom O’Shaughnessy out of Burlington, MA,  Angela Sabatini out of Atlanta, and Brian Nickerson out of San Francisco. They all stressed in the need of continuous press and exposure for my work. Some of my work involves particular social impact issues, and some involve specific times of the year such as Thanksgiving and 4^th of July. All of us have data on all of the consumer magazines in the country and we are putting together a media business plan. One can never be satisfied with the amount of exposure that they have.  There are various attachments of some of the exposure I have received during the years. There are also links to television interviews as well as a website that includes many of my exposure in the past.
