NFT Photography is soaring, so it felt appropriate to kick off my first post of the year with a post about Photography NFTs on Solana. If you are already into NFTs, then you know the most popular blockchain currently being used to trade NFTs is Ethereum.

I do not create hundreds of pieces a year, and the traditional rights model works just fine for me. This obviously doesn’t mean every artist must follow in these same steps. I do however believe; it is imperative for ..read more

As a Fine Art Photographer who shoots food, I see a lot of people who think Photography is as easy as picking up a camera and pressing the shutter. It is not. Photography can take years to master. It can also take weeks of planning, to execute 1 final image, and hours, sometimes into the night, to get the shot you want. My Personal Experience with Photography I’ll give you an example. In my collection of Still Life with Food fine art, Still Life with Figs took me days of first figuring out and planning how I would depict what I wanted to convey. I then had to wait for the figs to ripen to the ..read more
