I plan to create an organized and professional event that includes ten photographs that carry an intertwined theme of dancer and nature, but also provide enough variety within that theme to hold the viewer's interest. Through this endeavor, I hope to draw an increased community interest and therefore a focused advertisement of the photographic work that I am capable of creating. I believe this will assist in furthering my future goals of assisting in local artist's promotion and featuring performing artists in creative photo collections, displayed here in Duluth, Minneapolis, or greater metro area venues. I will know I've been successful if I can engage the audience with the display of art on opening night and if I can create a conversational spark in what I've carefully prepared and presented to guests. Other signs of personal success would be to demonstrate increased interest on the social media platforms and schedule or plan future engagements in ways of display, photoshoot booking, or supplementing a multimedia experience.
