Title: Looking to sell my Photography
Post by: crestonwall on February 02, 2014, 08:40:09 AM
This is really a post to gauge interest, if any, But i thought I would take a stab at it as there's nothing to lose.

I'm currently studying photography at college in NY - my main reason for coming here to sell as I'm looking to raise some funds to help myself get by and pay off my schooling, which, as i'm sure you can imagine is as not as cheap as one would hope it to be! Not to mention the BTC that I invested in about a year ago which would now be doing well and helping me out was stolen right out of my MtGox account last month! So yeah really just trying to raise some funds.

I find it somewhat hard to explain my photography so I will let the images speak for themselves. I do understand it is not everyones cup of tea but I will explain a little about what I do. I take a lot of inspiration from various movements in art & photography, I suppose mainly i am inspired by the New Topographics movement and some of the great American color photographers of the 70's such as William Eggleston, Stephen Shore, Joel Meyerowitz, Joel Sternfeld among many others. For those that are familiar with the history of photography you should be able to see where I am coming from and the referencing between important artists and works of the past and today's contemporary culture.

I will post just a couple photos below but if there is any interest in seeing some others I can post more. I shoot everything on film using either 35mm or medium format. All the prints will be in a small edition of only 5 and signed on the back. The sheet size will be 11 x 14 and the photograph will be 9inches on the long edge. I am looking to get 0.2BTC for each print.

As i have mentioned these 3 are just a tiny selection of my work and I am happy to post more should people want to see it.

Thanks!!

@thecoinjournal I normally print digital inkjet prints with an epson 2880 or epson 4400. I am able to print silver gelatin, but only for my black and white work and lately I have been shooting much more color. As for the website, yes, it is definitely something I would be interested in. Same goes for you @Raskul

@botcoinexpress I do have a few artistic nudes that I have shot in the studio. I will post them up later this evening.

Thanks

Sorry dude but there is not much artistic stuff in those pictures and not much technique as well.

I am not  a student in photography but i do better with my gear (nikon d300 85mm1.8 and 17-50mm 2.8) and many of my friends do much better with there top qaulity gear.

You have to seize a particular instant + to master the technique.

Good luck and show us your progress

best regards

I think his photography is pretty good, there's some influence from Stephen Shore.

Yes I understand it is not everyone's thing but there is a specific direction I am coming from and a style that I have formed through looking at other particular photographers and artists. It's just a matter f opinion I suppose. Any how

I am working on some two tone gold Bitcoin ltd screenprints. Perhaps these will interest some people here. I will post pics when they're finished.

meanwhile checkout www.olottcritique.tumblr.com (http://www.olottcritique.tumblr.com) to see some work I shot in florida last week. theyre not all color corrected, just rough for my class crritique.
