Documentation & Presence: a working reference.
Photographing work to submission standard, file specs and captions, choosing work samples, the artist statement, bios, website and press kit.
Photographing 2D, 3D, and time-based work to submission standard

17 min 02File specs, captions, color management, and an image-asset system
Pixels not DPI, embedded sRGB, complete captions and machine-sortable filenames — and one master file every derivative comes from.
23 min 03Choosing and sequencing work samples for a panel
How panels actually view a set: selecting for coherence, sequencing, where to cap, and tying the set back to your statement.
19 min 04Artist website architecture and online portfolio curation
The small, predictable set of sections a professional reader expects, why a site is not an application packet, and what kills credibility in seconds.
13 min 05Bio in three lengths and the digital press kit / EPK
Writing the bio at 50, 100 and 250 words, the third-person conventions behind it, and assembling a press kit press can actually use.
15 min 06Discoverability: SEO, digital identity, and earned coverage
Owning your name in search: on-page and image SEO, authority profiles that outlast platforms, earned coverage, and what to measure.
26 min 07The working artist inventory and archive system
One permanent record per work, made at the moment of making: inventory numbers, metadata, location and sales tracking, backups.
16 min 08Writing an artist statement
What a statement is and is not, how long it should be, how to avoid art-jargon, and a revision method that survives a real reader.
