AZ,
My impression of this art show
was that technology has produced so many option for making effects that are less
time consuming to do that more photographer are trying out the market. I did see
several booth that were using the Polaroid transfer technology. One of the
Polaroid transfer photographer shot pictures of peoples, trees and old
objects.
The photographers
were a very diverse group in technique, style and subject matter. There was a
traditional rendition of animals by one photographer that had traveled the globe
for many years. There was one photographer who had painted
scenes with bright colors that most people didn't realize they were
altered photographs and didn't seem to care. They bought the pictures because
they liked them. There were panoramas photographer and nature photographer with
leaves close-ups and sunsets and even a close-up of a leaf that turned blue
naturally. (Photographer had to explain this unique leaf with some typing
on a card ).
There was another nature photographer who had some interesting dramatic
shots with glowing colors because he shot pictures of water with time exposures.
One photographer had shoots that suggested to me that he was an amateur just
starting out on being a being a professional.
The question is whether
the photographers will sell enough to make a go of it. I did observe
one group of people who were looking at some large pictures of flowers on white
background who suddenly realized that the pictures were photographs and
immediately walked away. They were impressed when they thought they were looking
at paintings but when they realized they were photographs printed on canvas they
didn't think the art works were even worth looking at.
