I think that overall the opportunities are better than the dangers for artists on Twitter. The key is to differentiate yourself. I see so many people whose bios include that they are photographers, and I wonder if this is becoming like the "social media expert" of the art world on Twitter? To need to make it clear via your tweets, URL, or bio how you are different than other photographers.
ReplyDeleteHello Beth, yes indeed, everybody nowadays may pick a (cheap) camera and everybody may publish the works to the public. 20 years ago, one was only a photographer when established as one, via shows in Galleries, Art books, Calendars. It seems as if a democratization of art is going on and in the art world the photo camera is probably to most democratic media, also because the criteria are more flowing, than for example in painting. A photo, if it's not good enough to be art, it is still just a photo/image/picture. A bad painting is a bad painting, but a bad photo does not exist (but in fact also a bad painting is not existing I guess, it all depends on the viewer) I think you had it about a different point, anyway, thanks for commenting !
