Brian Demint, Thomas Dodd & Rob Provencher-The Art Within The Image…replay

February 26, 2020 By Robert Provencher Leave a Comment

We had a great time chatting it up on the topic of art. Replay below.

SOME NOTES I wrote down during this presentation:

“Dunning Krueger”

Standards are shifting. Trends. Man Ray. Duchamp.

Print competitions don’t mean a thing. Juried shows are a foot in the door to galleries.

Self-study.

Watch movies. Brian’s fave director is Ingmar Bergman.

The more creative people, the better.

Thomas sez: “Visual vocabulary.” It includes everything you have taken in in your life. It’s a language.

Joseph Campbell, Carl Jung. Symbolism.Collective unconscious.

Brian Eno Oblique Strategies

Always being aware, art is all around.

If you can’t go out in your backyard and create art you have more to learn.

People bring their perspective into their work.

Everything your do with your camera is manipulation. All photos are a lie.

Book recommendation The Command to Look by William Mortensen

Godess in every woman.

Your art must be your best friend.

Brian: “Get your fave band’s first album, go to the third song and create a photo session based on that song.”

“The more pictures you see, the better you are as a photographer.”
~Robert Mapplethorp~

Thomas Dodd Wiki entry

Fave podcast: Joe Rogan

Some quotes…..:

“Texture is critical.”

“Model selection is the most important part of an image.”

Have an elevator speech. They buy the artist more than the art. This is influenced by how you present yourself, what you say, how you look. Do you walk in looking like an artist?

This matters: “The way you talk about yourself. The way your work. The way you present yourself.”

Have multiple streams of income.

15% commission paid to affiliates who show his work.

Getting grants for art is all about being a good writer.  Reporters are lazy. They will run with the bio and the press release you give them.

Start small, ascend your way up through the ranks. It’s all about people.

Think like a rick person. They spend money on things they value. Easiest jobs seem to be the ones who pay the most.

Painters are open, photographers not so much. “What is currently popular is on it’s way out.”

Copy right and key word all your online files. Blog twice a week, even if you’re not a good writer.

Think of social media not as promoting, but as sharing.
