TPO 10 Conversation 1
Narrator
Listen to a conversation between a student and her Photography Professor.
Student
Professor Jason, there is something that’s been on my mind.
Professor
Ok.
Student
Remember last week, you told us that it's really important to get our
photography into a show, basically as soon as we can?
Professor
Yes up, it's a big step, no question.
Student
Thing is, I am sitting here and I am just not sure how I get there. I mean I’ve got
some work I like, but is it the really what the gallery is looking for? How would I
know, how do I make the right context to get it into show, I just really don't...
Professor
Ok, slow on, slow on. Um…these are questions, well, just about every young
artist has to struggle with. Ok, the first thing you should do is you absolutely
have to stay true to your artistic vision; take the pictures you want to take.
Don't start trying to catch the flavor the monsoon, be trendy because you think
you are getting into a show--- that never works, because you wanna them
creating something you don't really believe in. That sounds uninspired, and
won’t make any shows. I've seen that have happened so many times. This
doesn’t mean that you should go into the caves. Keep up with the trends, even
think about how your work might fit in with them, but don't mindlessly follow
them.
Student
Well, yeah, I can see that. I think though I have always been able to stay pretty
true to what I want to create, not what others want me to create. I think that
comes through my work.
Professor
Ok, just remember that is one thing to create works that you really want to
create one that in the classroom. The only thing is stake is your grade. But
what create outside the classroom? That could be in different story. Eh, I'm not
talking about techniques or things like that. It's just there is so much more
stake when you are out there ** art for living. There are a lot of pressures
to become something you are not, and people often surrendered to that
pressure.
Student
But to get stuff it exhibited…
Professor
Well, you need to be a bit of opportunists. Now, a common sense things like
always having a sample if you worked on hand to give the people. You won’t
believe the kind of contacts and opportunists you get it in this way. And try to
get your work seen in the places like restaurants, bookstores, you will be
surprised how world get surround it about photography in places like then.
Student
Ok it's just so hard to think about all of these practical things and make good
work, you know
