Exercise 5.4: Online exhibitions

Exercise 5.4: Online exhibitions

The problem with on-line exhibitions is possibly that the type and size of the device being used to view the images can be limiting to the quality and the image being viewed at a size not originally intended.

However it can be used to say present the work an exhibition at a desired size, say via a projector, where perhaps space may be limited or even because it aligns to the artists visualisation of how the images should be displayed or rotated through. It would definitely suit my set of back up images that I have taken of the four seasons at Symonds Yat Rock in the Forest of Dean.

Additional an on-line exhibition as part of a photographers website can be used to aid the flow of images to avoid the viewer having to continually click etc to move to the next image. Instead perhaps the viewer seeing a particular image by clicking on it the image flow is stopped and the image shown at full resolution so it can come under closer scrutiny by the viewer.

Not all photographers are of a stature that can command an exhibition at say a prominent location or area, perhaps cost could be a factor etc. The ability to exhibit their art on-line makes it more accessible and perhaps at a reduced cost. Art exhibited at a single location may also be inaccessible to all interested parties due to location.

Additionally perhaps a wedding photographer can display images for potential sales

The use of online exhibitions certainly embraces the modern digital world. On-line text and music can be added to a single or group of images which perhaps may not be feasible in a gallery with limited space and competing music
