Getting your work out there!

The world wide web has generated unprecedented opportunities for photographers wanting to promote their work. The video link attached here is an example of how I was able to get my work critiqued and then published online. This was presented by Craig Tanner on the "The Radiant Vista" website. This site was a great resource for uploading images daily for potential critique. Craig would select an image a day and create a quicktime video evaluating the selected piece. In this case , my series entitled "Alleys of Hope" was discussed as a series and presented on the site.



Craig Tanner is a phenomenal photographer, teacher, podcaster and writer. His teachings through podcasts and critiques have been invaluable to me as a photographic artist and I highly recommend visiting his amazing new site named "The Mindful Eye". Here, Craig has continued the tradition of supplying photographers with an awesome resource for learning and sharing.

Graffiti Photography

Hi!
A couple of years or so ago, I completed this series of photographs incorporating figures against some remarkable graffiti art in downtown Toronto. The project is called "Alleys of Hope". These images were made late at night and I used a flash light to paint areas of the scene. I also used extensive photoshop post processing techniques to bring out color saturation and detail.
The entire series can be viewed on my site at: www.carminegroe.com

I am curious what you think about the images and if you're interested in this technique?
Cheers, Carmine
