Exhibition Help

[ldwallis]

Hi, right, first off myself and 2 other photographers are having an exhibition of our work on the 1st of July, the Venue is booked, paid for and we're waiting on the access codes for the doors, I have sent out Invitations to people who have helped the 3 of us in prep for this also.
I am now sat here with lots of blank invites ready to post but i have just one problem.....who do i invite to the opening night?
like i said i have invited many of the people involved with the shoots (especially the celebs i have shot) but aside from those i am really struggling to think. i did send invites to the local paper, its editor and sub editor, i even invited all the local radio station dj's. i invited people from local industry, ie: the guy who runs the local Photography Lab.

now im at a loss.....help?

the subjects of the 3 photographers are so different, ive already invited people whom i have shot. the other 2 people are going off to uni so they dont seem too interested.

 

[Xplosion]

Possibly if you tell us the subjects?

Possibly if you tell us the subjects?

sorry im also a part time idiot.

My own is a collection of "celebrities" portraits
Stephens is a collection of Landscapes
Raechyl's is a collection of images based upon fairytales, for example Snow white and the 7 dwarfs

bump

 

[Xplosion]

Well for the celebrity photographs, maybe the local press or national press even some of the gossip mags?

For landscapes, possibly a local geography club/Nature/council marketting people?

Fairy Tales - ummm I'm thinking posh parents at a private school? Umm,

I hope they're not rubbish ideas

 

[ldwallis]

Nope, some good ideas, ive just gone through all the local papers, mags, etc, and will do some more national types later, thanks for the help

I would invite some local galleries and art dealers. I would also look at large local business they might be after some local landscape shots for the office... The galleries might also know some local collectors or artist that might like to come along. Sorry if I state the obvious but I am a newbie…
