Exhibition Aftermath

The six days of my exhibition were amazing! I met and spoke to a lot of people – what stood out was the friendliness of the people in Mumbles and it was an absolute pleasure to speak to everyone. Thank you to everyone who bought things too. The bookmarks were the best seller at 36 sold and I also sold 11 framed photos and 7 mounted photos. The only disappointment about the exhibition was that I didn’t sell any of my canvases (except from the clearance box). I have enquired about have a 2 or 3 day exhibition before Christmas and another 6 day exhibition the same time next year so watch this space…

 

The calendars I have produced this year are selling very fast. The Saltash one has almost sold out so I will need to do another print run. The Gower and Brecon Beacons ones are also proving to be very popular. My next print run will be the last for this year, so please make sure you order in time. See here.

 

And finally, thank you to everyone who took the time to write comments in my guestbook at the exhibition. Here is a small selection:

  • “Scenes I never knew exisited on Gower”
  • “Super photos, very different!”
  • “Excellent, a joy to look around”
  • “Great exhibition, very detailed”
  • “Very talented photographer who shows our beautiful area at its best”

Exhibition Progress and Twitter

Tags: — Dan Santillo @ 7:50 pm

Today was Day 4 of my exhibition and what a day! It was so busy it was unbelievable, which was nice. I was rushed off my feet a few times and met some very nice people. So far, the exhibition has far exceeded my expectations! Just Sunday and Monday to go and hopefully they’ll be just as good.

 

I’ve been persuaded to give Twitter a go so you can follow me by searching for @dansantillo.

 

Here are a couple of photos from the exhibition:

So make sure you come along any day from Wednesday 26th August to Monday 31st August, 10am to 4pm.

Exhibition Getting Closer

Tags: — Dan Santillo @ 6:21 am

Apologies for no new postings recently – I’m working on hard on getting everything ready for my exhibition later this month. I’ve got all the photos framed and am making up mounted prints to sell separately. I’ve also made one of the canvases – a new photo I haven’t seen on canvas before and have to say that it looks stunning! I’ve got a few more to make yet though. I’m also putting together coasters, bookmarks, fridge magnets, etc. I am genuinely getting quite excited about the exhibition and looking forward to it greatly.

 

On another note, I’ve just secured myself a commission for another magazine article – more details when published.

Competition Good News

Tags: , , , , — Dan Santillo @ 7:03 am

I won’t tell you which which image, but one of my photos has been shortlisted in the Photographer of the Year competition which means it has made it to the final judging! According to the email, they had thousands of entries so this is quite an achievement for me!

 

The Brecon Craft Fair last Saturday was very good – I sold seven 2010 Calendars of the Brecon Beacons. I was surprised to sell that many in July, but very pleased! I’m working flat out on my exhibition in August – I have an advert and a short editorial piece about it in the forthcoming issue of the Mumbles Community Times. I’m really looking forward to the exhibition – it will be six days of hard work, but good. Last year I worked over 100 hours during the week of the Mumbles Art and Craft Cooperative show to keep my display replenished, so I’m hoping this year will be good too. I’ve reprocessed a couple of photos from years ago with Capture 1, the output of which is vastly improved to what I had available when I originally processed them. Here’s two of them:
