I’m a wildlife photographer and I figured I’d ask some people who know about business.

My idea is to make my garage just like a typical art gallery. All artwork by me.

The advantage for me would be that I get to keep 100% of the profit. No dealing with middle men at all. I’m also very much so in the correct area to sell art.

The advantage to the customer is they get a private appointment. I was thinking of rolling out the red carpet and giving them a free non alcoholic drink just for showing up. VIP treatment. Some people like to meet the artist as well, they would get the opportunity because I’d be a one man band.

My issue is I don’t exactly know how people are going to find me or how to advertise something like this. I can’t think past the point of handing a business card to people who talk to me while I’m taking pictures. Seems like an impossible thing to get the word out locally.

    Have you considered Farmers Markets or vendor events where you purchase a table for the day/season? Might be easier at first. Gain some followers to get them over to next years garage gallery…
