>>3922066>>3922096In art photography circles, zines are a great way of generating a bit of cash, attention, another point on your artist CV of sorts, and for representing your creative vision exactly how you want it.
Daisuke Yokota is a famous artfag in photoland kind of like Moriyama's shit but noisier and more tumblr aesthetic. he started out with small zines he made on a copier. He had this edgy ghostly dreamworld aesthetic and caught people's attention. He'd sell a zine for £10-15 and then make another when they sold out. Then they'd go for £20 and they'd be printed better and have a different vibe or concept. Now they sell for £50 and you can only buy those old tenners for £150-400. Each zine he refined the look and now he gets enormous exhibitions and gets published by people.
do a zine when you have a project or idea you wanna explore. It could be pictures of cats or some super conceptual thing, whatever. Do it well, build an audience and sell it.
