Would you like to learn which photographs sell in public galleries and auction houses, and understand why? Would you like your portfolio critiqued by an experienced sales agent who can help you choose which photographs to exhibit and offer for sale? Need a constructive critique about how to improve the quality of your work and what to concentrate on?
Luke Whitaker, from the award winning Bosham Gallery, represents some of the world’s best-selling photographers and acts as a business mentor to many more aspiring to emulate their success; periodically critiquing their work, advising on buying trends, framing, pricing and helping to increase their sales. He has developed a keen eye for what sells and why and is available to meet in person in the UK, or happily over Zoom/Teams/FaceTime or WhatsApp.
Please send Luke your prints or digital files ahead of your meeting. For details click here.
"I had a two-hour print Critique with Luke, it was time and money well spent; very informative and I left with plenty to think about. Luke covered all aspects of my prints, from composition, colour balance, size of print, the type of printing paper to use, and mounting and framing the prints. We also covered what type of image sells and the print format to use..." Jim Hellier
"During our critiques, Luke has the eye of a hawk at spotting distractions that should have been removed and at suggesting other improvements such as tighter crops and areas that should be lightened or darkened. Sessions with Luke are an extremely enjoyable process and I would highly recommend them. Be prepared to take the critique. You are not there to be flattered. He does know what he's talking about though. You don't get to represent the world's best unless you do, to say nothing of the fact he's a pretty strong photographer in his own right!" Dr Edward A Hyde ARPS
"I have learned so much over the last few months, and this is largely thanks to Luke Whitaker's knowledge and enthusiasm - and his belief in me as a photographer. Not just about the photographs themselves, but also about the process of selecting images for sale, editing for print, framing and editioning - the whole sales process in fact. I have benefited enormously from Luke's review of my portfolio and his insight into 'what sells'. I'm excited to see what is around the next corner, and where my emerging photographic career might take me next. Thank you Luke!" Gill Prince
“Reviewing photographs along with the various framing and paper choices with Luke is time very well spent. His knowledge and experience provides an important and objective perspective. The Bosham Gallery is in a beautiful location and provides the perfect atmosphere to take it all in.” Peter Geraerts
“There is great value in having the combination of your photography and yourself being critiqued by a professional with experience, who actually sells to the collectors through his own gallery. It is invaluable to have the opportunity and time to ask of that experience.” Angus Haywood
"Thank you so much for your time, wise words and inspiration today. I found it very enjoyable; I learned a lot and moreover, am motivated to pursue my interests further in Bosham. It was just what I needed to prevent me sliding into the abyss of inactivity!" Janet Lovekin
