#15 Claire Luxton - Building a Career as a Fine Art Photographer

On today’s podcast, I talk with multidisciplinary artist, Claire
Luxton. Claire has achieved great artistic and commercial success
through her series of evocative multi-media digital images. Her
vivid surrealism and beautiful self-portraiture, as well as her
distinctive editing style, have earned her recognition and
acclaim as both a fine artist and a photographer. Claire has
collaborated with brands such as Adobe and McQueens, and her art
has been commissioned by clients such as JP Morgan, The
Birmingham Royal Ballet, and Westminster Council. Most recently,
her art is being showcased in a peace exhibition for the United
Nations in New York. Together we discuss the topics such as how
to make a living and build a prolific career as an artist, what
it means working with the galleries, how to price your own work,
printing methods and many more.
