Summary

The fine art market is flourishing on an international scale. Shows such as Paris Photo have been set up over the past few years to promote fine art photography to collectors, and new galleries dedicated to photography are opening to cater for that demand. This beautifully illustrated book looks at all aspects of this growing market and advises photographers of all levels on how to get involved. Sections on producing, exhibiting and selling your work, as well as a study of photographers who've 'cracked' the market, make this book a truly comprehensive guide to breaking successfully into the business.
