Finding Your Audience: An Introduction to Marketing Your Photographs
(Guest Speaker)
For Allison V. Smith, photography is more than a profession. It’s a passion, honed from age 15 when her mother gave her a camera.
Nothing feels better than making a great photograph. There’s a silence that falls over you, a feeling in your gut when you know you’ve got the photo you want. You can hardly believe what you’re seeing, and that it’s happening right in front of you.
Between graduating from SMU until turning her attention to full-time freelance and fine art photography, Allison worked at seven newspapers. Her photos continue to be published in The New York Times, The Washington Post and The New Republic, and her work is in the permanent collection at the Dallas Museum of Art, the Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth and the Museum of Fine Arts, Houston.
Allison is represented by the Barry Whistler Gallery in Dallas, the Hiram Butler Gallery in Houston, and the OnCenter Gallery in Provincetown, MA.
I try to bring my fine arts background into my photojournalism and my photojournalism background into my fine arts. I love making the work , thinking about the work and sharing the work.
