Rating Galleries Really Helps an Artist Gain Attention
The idea behind rating artists galleries, be they a photographer like myself, painter or a sculpture, weaver, pottery artist or an array of other artists, can be to give them the kudos they deserve. But more than likely it brings awareness to buyers in the field. After all most artists, whether they admit it or not, do seek income from their work. We will ask for ratings so that our art stands out from the rest, but only if you feel it deserves your highest rating. Artists spend a lot of time and money heading to destinations and shooting, and equally as much effort in editing in Photoshop or Lightroom, which can take many hours. We spend a lot of money, many of us do, on equipment, camera bodies, numerous lenses, accessories and software, external hard discs, RAID storage, much more DDS3 memory, portrait backdrops and light stands, strobes, battery packs, remotes, and on and on and on. No matter who you decide to rate or comment on, please consider the effort and financial aspects of our work.
On a Facebook page, certainly most ratings and likes are given because of a friendship, which is fine. But at my art site, Fine Art America I seek ratings for discovering what viewers think of my work and for the potential income that follows. And in asking for your rating I should hasten to add that I am just beginning at this new site, so you won't have to wade through thousands or even hundreds of photos I've taken and edited, there's just a few thus far.
I appreciate your visit to my Galleries link. When you get there, if you choose, please add a comment. Those comments are at least as helpful as your ratings.
