My goal is producing twenty professionally printed and framed photographs from the archive of musician portraits that I have been photographing over the past three years. The photographs will then be displayed in a solo show to be held at Duluth Coffee Company beginning May 1, 2019 through June 30th. By displaying my work in a solo show my goal is to generate income through sales of the displayed work, encourage new clients to book me for portrait projects, and promote fandom for the musicians featured in my portraits by engaging them with the local community. The outcome of my project can be measured first in physical sales of the photographs I am displaying. It can also be measured by seeking feedback from Duluth Coffee Company employees regarding their perception of audience engagement over the duration of the residency. I also plan to seek feedback from piers, mentors, and those featured in my photographs.
I was able to sell three pieces in my show with two weeks left until the show ends I hope to sell a couple more. As of 616 I have made a profit of $900.00 on sales.
