Thanks for this post, Alyson! This is a great reminder for me to get organized and get some dynamic photos of myself working–I’m terrible about keeping up with that and getting a real photo shoot together. But you’re right–when someone calls or writes and wants photos, we need to have them ready to send ASAP. Thanks for this kick in the pants for the new year. (And I can’t wait for your Jan 8th webinar!)

Ten years already? I believe I began following your newsletters and taking some of your courses when I lived in North Carolina. I am planning to have some professional shots done after I was so pleased with my new head shot that was taken during the Art Biz Makeover. What a difference!
Congratulations on your anniversary of helping artists!

This is so important! I am a professional photographer as well as a painter, and I don’t know how many times I see great art photographed poorly. Online presence is so important these days and having beautiful photos and a website matter so much. I still use my phone for Instagram and a lot of social media photo updates, but when it comes to my artwork listings I have always taken my pro camera out. Yes, it’s easy bc I already have the camera and the photo knowledge, but if you can’t afford the photos, invest in a better camera (you can even get better photos using your phone with the right lighting), and online research on lighting your art. I can’t tell you how often I think about how to make photos for artists more affordable. Any thoughts on that? My photos can be found at http://www.megangrayarts.com

Hi Alyson. A great big congratulations on the celebration of your 10th year as the Art Biz Coach. That truly is something to be proud of. I am a new subscriber to your newsletter and I am excited by every email you send! I am going to sign up for your boot camp in January so I can take my art business and soar to new heights, with your help of course. Next step is finding a photographer and getting those professional photos I’ll be needing. Thanks for giving me a new road to travel as an artist.

Hello Alyson, I really appreciate your hard work and congratulations on a decade of advancing your knowledge to us. Although I have only been reading your thoughts for a few months I find them so helpful. You have opened up my understanding of what is needed for me to excel in my journey. I have been painting for a little over two years and need so much instruction on how to make my work a profitable one and just the few months of reading your blogs have helped me understand what, why and how to get there. Much thanks to you Alyson.

Actually, it’s been longer, Patricia. Art Biz Coach started in 2002. The blog in 2004.
Yay for the appointment with the photographer!
