This is the most complete book ever to be published on how to sell photographs, a subject of compelling interest to virtually every photographer. Amateurs on every level will find it a treasure house of down-to-earth information on how to improve their photography, adopt professional attitudes, assemble portfolios, find and deal with picture buyers, build personal markets, price and protect their work, and much more. Professionals seeking new horizons - as all do - will find here a unique overview of the current photography scene and its limitless possibilities, ranging from commercial and publication channels to such artistic outlets as galleries, museums, books, and specialty magazines. Every reader will absorb the "inside story" of how picture buyers look at photographs and make their buying decisions, acquiring the insight that equips the photographer to anticipate and fulfill the needs of the marketplace. Based on Natalie Canavor's years of experience as a picture editor, teacher, and writer on photography, this is a remarkable combination of practical and theoretical instruction on assessing one's own talents and qualifications, self-editing, originating ideas and developing them, and exploring the new ways photography can be used and the new markets that can be created. Rather than a listing of names that will soon be out of date, Canavor offers an understanding of how to use the current market guides, and the techniques of market research. The important elements of the copyright law are explained as well as other aspects of law regarding privacy and liability. Sell Your Photographs adds up to a complete course in marketing photography that will change the way its readers think about photography forever.

It all started one fine January day, in 2020, when Meg Robinson brought together women artists for her annual luncheon. She believed that artists had a lot to tell each other: complaints, secrets, marketing tips; and she was right. Sculptors, writers, painters, designers, musicians talked about what they wanted from their solitary arts; and what they were willing to give to get it. But more than anything, we spoke about how artists manage to keep going sometimes when the world doesn’t seem to want anything we have.\nAs the newly appointed state Poet Laureate, I planned to spend my tenure teaching. I’d been working with teens throughout the state. My job was to lead them to language that would serve them best. A person from our women’s “Creativity” lunch group said, “How in the world can anyone teach poetry? It’s such an esoteric art.” I replied that I could not sum it up, right there and then, but I’d love to show anyone who was interested. Several women said, “I’d like to try my hand,” or words like that. And six women left me their names with email addresses. A lawyer, journalist, technical writer, painter, musician, and graphic artist—I had my group, women with multiple talents.\nWe met twice in-person, softening the earth with writing exercises; and then COVID struck, and we resorted to Zoom meetings, alternate Fridays for sixteen months. What wonderful, brave, exhilarating stories showed up on the page.\nCritics may say “Why publish the beginning of the journey? Why not wait to become professionals?” I say, “Why not collect these poems?” These poems are samples from many written over the months, each one a talisman, recording a certain time in history— a memory box, a family album, a reporting-out into the world. What could be more important than a document that shows six women who had the courage to try? Writing is not only about words—everyone has words—poetry is about courage, and truth, and honesty. And all that is found here.\n--Compiled by Grace Cavalieri\nCover Painting by Carole Falk
