In Toronto in May we have the Contact Photo Show, the show over various locations gets about a million visitors to the various Galleries involved. I am one of the featured Photographers this year and I have less than 20 days to get another 6 photos out that I need to pick to hang for the show along with what I have already there and two other galleries. Well not 20 days really, the gallery wants the print names and sizes I only have 20 days to get them the actual photos framed and ready to hang, I am sure they would like the info about my choices last week.
My usual method is leave it until the very last minute and go strictly on gut feeling, been working so far but this is maybe one event I want to show a variety of work and have it a thought out process. So how would you go about making the decision on what to hang for a gallery show? None of my Concert photography is involved, I like to keep the two separate for some weird reason. Now I thinking I might be making a mistake, I dunno, any suggestion would be helpful, maybe ignored and I will fall back on my proven method but maybe someone will inspire me with an idea. Frames, Matting and all that is not an issue, I just need to give a days heads up with a frame place I am dealing with now.
