Today, we can print just one book (or magazine). It is the perfect viewing distance to really experience the image and the perfect opportunity to add contextual information with text about the image.Įarly in my career, the only way to make a book project was to print hundreds of them and plenty of photographers sold the extra car to pay for the book printing and then spent the next ten years trying to sell the book to recoup the cost. I don’t think there is a better way to experience photographs than in a well-printed book or magazine. There may be a number of steps in the relationship between someone liking your work on social media and them buying a printed photograph, but you will know someone is serious about photography when they hang a print on their wall or hold a book or magazine in their hands.

Unfortunately, the venue is less than ideal.

Today, any photographer can reach the masses with a free social media account and a smartphone. So the vast majority of photographers either maintained an expensive hobby or continued to submit work to the gatekeepers in an effort to reach the mass viewers. Sure, you could self-publish a book, but it was either that or buy a car. In the 1990s, the internet was still in its infancy and the gatekeepers to a mass market of viewers for our photographs were the publishers of books and magazines. We would take field trips to the book store and browse through all genres of magazines and books doing research on which publishing companies were using photos. It made me think twice about how impactful my images are when I post them on Instagram.ĭuring my undergraduate studies, I took a course from Mary V Swanson, that was based in the business of photography and getting published. So they were consuming images, or videos without ever once stopping to appreciate the imagery they were seeing.

They were constantly sliding their finger up or down the screen. I noticed that none of them were reading.
