Making the jump from a hobbyist to a professional artist takes not only skills as a photographer, but also requires a good deal of business smarts and acumen. For some, the stock photography market<\/a> may offer many viable options; however, stock photography isn't for everyone. If you find yourself longing for your images to hang from a collector's walls or gracing a gallery hall, keep reading for a few tips on how you can break into the fine art marketplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Branding –<\/strong> Establishing a brand for yourself as an artist is a craft in itself.

As a brand, it is important that you use a common theme among all your publicity outlets such as your business cards, social networks, and the person you present yourself as in a professional setting. Consistency is key when it comes to marketing yourself. For example, don't call your brand John Smith Photography on your Facebook Fanpage and Fox Creek Photography on your website. Choose one and use it universally. Streamlining yourself into one brand will make it easier for fans of your work to find you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
