What is your point of view on the financial side of the photographic market today ?
On one hand the future looks bright for the fine art photography market. More and more art collectors/art buyers find their way to photography, because there is lot's of opportunity to find good quality of art photography for fair prices.
On the other hand there is still a lack of appreciation for fine art photography, where there's still a need to defend photography as a full fine art discipline. Still too often the public values it differently, also because it is separately valued on the art market.
But overall there is a positive tendency for the future.
