In November 2017 I wrote and posted:
"Next year, last week of August and first of September I will be exposing in Sesimbra, Portugal.
The available area, belonging to the Town Hall is quite interesting. Just a clean rectangle with enough natural light and acceptable light also at night.
I belong to a small group of photographers from this village which is 35 kilometers from Setúbal.
This time I decided to try to sell some images. There is usually a lot of tourists around and perhaps I am lucky and sell ... one ! LOL
I want and will make 12 3/4 images and another one large enough to a small wall and I will be exposing... flowers. Yes, flowers. I have already talked to the guy who sells them and he will be preparing the bouquets for me. I will take advantage and will make also some shots of "single" flowers.
The images will be done at home with a torch. I will paint the light on the bouquets, come to CC and work on them..."
Painting with light was a bad start for the job. I moved into another direction.
Helped by Guy Tal's book "The landscape photographer's guide to Photoshop" and for some new work I used some of my images.
Last week a friend from Sesimbra and myself we mounted the exhibition.
Here is a humble photo of the work in progress we made, 3 views of the opening and to begin with, one of the images exposed.
Except one, all are printed in Fine Art printing paper by myself on A3+ sheets. The large one - below - was printed on Dibond. 0.60m/1.00m So far, I sold one A3+.
The gallery has a visit of about 32 people a night. It only opens from 21h to 23h
