AmbiguousMisdirection

Learning The Photography Exhibition Ropes

It’s quite an easy statement to make,” let’s have an exhibition” it kind of rolls off the tongue in an easy manner.

You’re sitting around debating the subject of photography and in one of those blasé moments it just slips out.

Then everyone thinks it’s a great idea and before you know it you’re rolling along almost helplessly, caught up in the wave of expectation that is ‘your exhibition’.

What I didn’t realise was how much work there was going to be, I certainly had no idea how much pressure I was going to put myself under either. The big wake-up call was when I finally understood that I knew absolutely nothing about the exhibition and show world.

My intention over the next few weeks is to give an account of the trials and tribulations I encountered whilst preparing my first exhibition entitled ‘Ambiguous Misdirection’. I hope to encourage other photographers and artists to create their own shows and to share the vast amount of knowledge I gained.

I’ll finish this first post with the encouraging news that my first photography exhibition was a great success.
