Up untill a year ago when we moved to our new studio,we had a studio/art gallery for 8 years in a busy downtown art district.We had a lot of different mediums including photography and my own paintings,sculpture and photography.We are out of the gallery biz now and just focus on our own art(thank goodness) But anyway to answer your question about getting into a gallery and presentation. Ive had photographers bring in flash drives or disks to view there work,I never looked at those. Gallery's need to see prints in different sizes.dont go high end with frames,(ive learned that the hard way with my own work showing in gallery's).The costumer usually changes the frame anyway to match there room decor..Manny of my customers inquirer to ware to get the frame switched out.Mount and matted prints shrink wrapped always sells best. If one insists on framing there work for a gallery showing just use cheap rail type frames as the print usually ends up in a different frame and the one you put on it ends up in their closet.Al so,really big prints dont sell well in a small gallery seting.start with small mounted and matted prints to test the market.
