iltby Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 (edited) Hey guys, Not really posting much on here anymore but just wanted to share the news. As I think some of you know, I won the photography section of ArtStreet earlier in the year and my award was a photographic exhibition in a local gallery/cafe. Anyway, we've finally gotten around to arranging it and the opening night is on the 15th :D The theme was light and I won with this entry. Totally different to something I'd usually do but I tried to think outside the box as much as possible- Anyway, that was all The exhibition will be running for a month so if anyone in the Sydney area wants to come up and check it out, it would be hugely appreciated - (details here.) The general theme is plant macro (barring two insect ones)...I decided not to do any animals this time round. Haven't gotten all the prints yet but I think they'll turn out well Here's a small example of what'll be shown- Jose.

Kirislin Posted October 6, 2010 Share Posted October 6, 2010 Mmm.. yes, that fern pic is delicious Yes, for some reason it makes me think of leather bound books and rich chocolate. I've no idea why those 2. but delicious is a good word for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PossumCorner Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 Some lovely shots: how are they being presented, framed under glass - or just well matted, or differently? I hope it goes really well for you, you must take your widest-angle lens along and take some full shots of the exhibition wall(s) to show us. Are they helping you with the set-up and hanging, or do you do that yourself direct with the gallery people? Red Bubble has a nice exhibition at the moment for the Dandenong Ranges Group at a good restaurant in Emerald (Vic). The images are all the same size and on the large RB mats, 18x12 I think, it really is a very good look, and yet much less costly than glass-framed. (I only had one shot in the exhibition and was quite stoked when it sold). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

misha&milo Posted October 7, 2010 Share Posted October 7, 2010 (edited) They are all Brilliant Good on you Edited October 7, 2010 by misha&milo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iltby Posted October 8, 2010 Author Share Posted October 8, 2010 Thanks so much guys. I do hope to make some sales - even if just to cover the cost of everything - but the exposure alone will be great. The cafe is situated right next to Katoomba Falls so I'm hoping lots of tourists see it Possum, they've been matted and framed under glass The people we went through have been really wonderful and incredibly encouraging. We'll be doing the hanging ourselves with help from the gallery owner. All the fixtures and things are there so it's just a matter of getting them there and hanging them. And yes, will definitely be using my wide-angle to take shots of the gallery for everyone I haven't even seen it myself but the works will be spread out across 3 rooms. The winning ArtStreet image will also be displayed on its easel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
