In the process of organizing an exhibitation of various artists, i learned that even though they may be in the same genre or theme, but every artist has a different story. They all have a background that explains who they are, how they became an artists or how they found their work, even what inspires them to photograph. Researching and finding out about each photographer's background was definitely the most challenging but it also was the most interesting part of the gallery. The easiest part was picking out my favorite photos of course. The job of a curator seems quite amusing though there seems to be some challenges in finding reliable works, but who wouldn't enjoy looking at beautiful works of art every day!
I also learned that in a nut shell, urban photography is more than "street photography", it is everything that is urban: cityscapes, subjects, objects and all that is in between. Urban photography is also critical rather than natural and should
have deeper meaning than just something that is funny or foreign. The
power of visuals is everywhere so why not use it!
