>>2975370You should probably continue to chase inspirations for a while and not worry about exhibition right away if you're getting started. Keep your mind open and when you find something that speaks to you get more focused on in. I think a gallery exhibition should have more of a theme, where images mean something together. That is quite a bit different from these outdoor shows I do, where it's almost a hodgepodge of stuff to try to appeal to the average Joe from all sorts of different backgrounds. I would never put that mix of work in a gallery setting, it just wouldn't look good and I'd be laughed out the door if it was a respectable gallery. Look for themes and images that build upon each other.
For example, I've always loved this set of images I've done on the oil industry. I have dozens but I'd still like more, but all the images flow together and each one makes the set stronger.
