The goal of this project is to allow the artist to produce photography prints that may be sold for profit or donated for charitable causes. Outcome 1: The artist will acquire a desktop computer equipped with photo editing software by June 2017. Outcome 2: The artist will purchase a Standard 24 and 50 mm lens to improve the technical capabilities of current equipment and capacity to produce quality photography prints by June 2017. Outcome 3: The artist will produce photography in print and electronic format for personal profit and also for the financial benefit of non-profit and charitable causes. At least one print will be displayed in a gallery or submitted to a photography competition by May 2018. Over twenty photographs will be created and posted in online mediums by May 2018. At least one piece will be made available and used by a non-profit organization or as an in kind donation. Outcome 1: Measure how many pieces of photography are distributed for viewing electronically and in print as a result of equipment purchase. Equipment is purchased and being used by June 2017. Outcome 2: Number of printed and electronic photos produced with new lenses. Also track specifically value of photography art sold and/or donated that was created with this lens purchase. Outcome 3: Track how many photos are featured in online and public galleries. Track total value of photographic art sold and/or donated.
1) I have produced two pieces of photography that are currently for sale in an art shop. They have been for sale at art fairs, and have received several positive comments. 2) I have produced well over 1,000 photos which I have had the opportunity to enhance due to access to better technology (photo editing, better lenses). 3) I have engaged in over 100 hours of personal study and practice in photography in the last year, thereby enhancing my skills. 4) I have provided photography for two community events and donated photos for social media, grant reporting, and general promotional material. 5) My photography has been used and featured on at least one website.
