What are the best things about art fairs

I get to see people's reactions to my pieces, unlike selling online. I also have the advantage of being able to discuss process with them, which sometimes turns into more sales!


Best show ever and why

Trillium Art Fair 2008. I ran out of change and nearly ran out of merchandise to sell. It was so busy all day, and was hard work, but so rewarding.


Worst show ever and why

LadiesFair 2009. This was this group's first show venture. It was ridiculous. Completely unorganized, poorly advertised and it was in a dark room – they were not allowed to turn more lights on and only a few of us had lighting with us. I paid for an ad space and my ad was not included in the book. Terrible!

    I started my photography business in 2008.  Shortly after starting my business I started shooting alphabet letters of architecture and other objects found in urban settings.  These letters can be used to spell words, or names to make contemporary art for you home.  This project took off, and became an overwhelming success.  I used the money from selling my alphabet letters to fund my photography business.  These letters are fantastic sellers and I’m thankfully too busy with my real passion to have time to sell them anymore.  So I’ve decided to sell the high resolution digital files for a fair price to the right person who is interested in making an abundance of extra income.  This idea will be unique to you, and if you're driven will make you lots of money.  The market is enormous!  If you’re interested and would like to discuss things further please contact me atshane@reedphoto.ca and please check out our alphabet photography atwww.reedphoto.ca click on “client” menu and enter the password “abc”.  We have b&w and color alphabets, and I’ve also custom created numerous word art pieces with quotes.  You’d receive everything with unlimited reproduction rights.  The letters can be put on anything you can think of or you can sell them just as letters to go in frames.  I always just sold them as letters for $5 per letter.  The profit margin is very high as it costs about 10-20 cents to print each letter and they sell for $5 each.  I look forward to hearing from you.
