One thing that you can do with your work is to bring the artistic community together by designing printed photo books. This will benefit you in two specific ways.

First, you will be able to use the photo book to create an awareness for the local artists - some of whom may not have the exposure that they would like for their work.

Second, and more importantly for your business, you will be able to show that, though you too are an artist, you are also a business person. Not only will you be helping other artists to get publicity for their work, but also you will be publicizing the work that you do. Later, when the artists that you feature in your photo book need to create a portfolio, they will be more likely to come to you for the photography of their work.

Bringing an artistic community together is about more than marketing and even about more than having others around who can critique your work when you're looking for an honest opinion. It's about showcasing talent - and about using it to promote a vision.
