You will host your own art show, because you can and you want it.
I was hesitant to say I'm releasing a coffee table book, so I would say "I'd like to", but after I started building a portfolio [imnotcomingtola] outside of IG I really had a chance to appreciate my photography on a large scale and collectively. At that moment I knew that I just need to stay consistent with shooting (sniping), editing, and collecting. I am releasing a coffee table book.
I think the hardest part of photography is developing a collection. After you have a solid collection, participating in an exhibits or releasing a book should be fairly easy as you already have the product and people (promoters, business, studios, etc.) need/want art to show case.
Too many photographers are becoming victim of only showcasing their photos on Instagram. We have to transcend the digital.
MUCH RESPECT!!
