Thank you all! Read the relevant posts in the topic of turtles, and I was not interested. By Investment case has no relation to the art of photography, sorry for the sharpness, very one-sided - technology. Although we must admit that the technology in this case - the most interesting.
Galyona, mysticism, numerology, etc. have played with you a very bad turn. And if you do not try to open eyes to understand what is, in fact, is your contribution to the creation of your works, it will continue to get worse. I will not write more - and so everything is clear. All - good luck!

It is a pity that in the end everything came together to discuss .... my photos ... numerology, etc. Rather than investing in the photo. I would like to see examples of investment collectors from Russia, Ukraine and so on ... but apparently they do not ...

The most recent annual Salon Paris Photo, held in early November, a new order prices for photography. Starting prices for the work of artists-debutants have been in the area of € 1000-2000 - against standard € 3000-5000. Terminations photos Mannik Finn Esko (Esko Männikkö) in the traditional for him battered vintage frames on the stand Yancey Richardson was available for only a few thousand. Previously, prices have reached twenty. New Exercise "great and terrible" Englishman Witkin (Joel Peter Witkin) sold for € 6000, that for the photographer of this level and with this name is very cheap. However no serious exhibit late XIX-early XX century in the cabin was not observed. The trend is obvious: the gallery at the time of crisis hoard photo masterpieces of the museum level and will not stand untwisted fashionable young artists - at least at the major art salons. But worthy of the classics of the genre and the works have not yet been glorified young art-radicals can be bought for almost nothing. Almost simultaneously with the auction Paris Photo Phillips de Pury & Company - New York and London Contemporary Art Photographs. At first most of the lots were not sold, and the second price rarely exceeded estimate.

The technology and prices
In collecting photos, there are different strategies. You can spend big money on the purchase of masterpieces, shining in the major museums and the media, such as Man Ray and Diane Arbus. Here, as in any business, the greater the investment, the greater the profits. But the situation on the art market today spoke in favor of young photographers. It is much cheaper, but the jump in price after a few years will be more significant. If, of course, scent, taste and art-dealer will not let you down.

Mainly on the price affects the circulation, which produced a specific job. Photography in a single item - a large and very expensive rarity, the standard range - 5-20 copies, and in most cases less than the circulation, the higher its value. However, you can buy editions (work, printed a large number - from 50 to 1000 copies) or albums that were released on the contrary, a limited edition - numbered and signed by the author.

It should delineate the photo in the traditional sense, and conceptual art, in which photo is used as one of the techniques. In the first case valued possession virtuoso classical fotopriemami. In the second - led the entire idea, but realized it could be very fairly straightforward. This explains the high prices for works by the artist Richard Prince, representing only reproductions of advertising posters.

Who is buying
From the heroes of our time is more or less clear: the work of Andreas Gursky, Cindy Sherman, Jeff Wall and Nan Goldin adorn any collection. And yet, you should pay attention to the less well-known characters.

Ryan McGinley (Ryan McGinley). This 31-year-old American's not for nothing can be seen in the company of photographers Jack Pearson and Bruce Weber. Even those Titans photography has much to learn from him. McGinley is working with the invited models, but the carefree girl and boy on his photo look as if he was shooting people from his entourage. McGinley is New York's Team Gallery (http://www.teamgal.com/). In Paris, his works can be purchased through the Galerie du Jour - Agnès B (http://www.galeriedujour.com/).

Englishman Matthew Stone (Matthew Stone), despite its causes appearance, is drawn to the origins of classical art. In particular, Caravaggio. In his photographic canvases he impresses live installation. Introduced in the London Union Gallery (http://www.union-gallery.com/).

Collin Laflesh (Collin LaFleche) - graduate student in Tisch School of the Arts at New York University. His touching and very truthful portraits - rare for a debutant luck. This leads to comparisons with the great Nan Goldin. The difference between one thing: if Goldin rented marginal, then the photographs Laflesha - golden youth. Any day to be released first album on the artist's explanation of the project on the Right After graduating from school in the early days of their adult lives. Laflesh not yet got an art dealer, so you can contact him directly (www.collinlafleche.com).

On Russia's art market is also a noteworthy work. In December, the Paris gallery Ariane Dandois a presentation of a grandiose photo project, started by businessman Yevgeny Yakovlev (budget exceeded € 2,5 million). According to the order of Chevalier of the Order of the Legion of Honor, the photographer Jean-Daniel Laurier (Jean-Daniel Lorieux) took off in Moscow history, explanations of Bulgakov's "Master and Margarita" with the actress Isabelle Adjani in the role of Marguerite. Works can be purchased by contacting Catherine Barer by phone: +7 (495) 969 1556.

On Wednesday, December 16, in Kiev Brucie Collections Gallery opens an exhibition of British photographer Albert Watson (Albert Watson) - one of the most successful commercial photographers of the world, the author of more than 250 magazine covers of Vogue.

Albert Watson - one of the most successful photographers of our time. Among his works - portraits of Alfred Hitchcock, Jack Nicholson, Kate Moss, Mike Tyson and other celebrities turned into a peculiar icon for connoisseurs of photography.

He alone among his colleagues was awarded the Queen's official photographer at the wedding of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson.

Watson was born and raised in Scotland. After the Royal Academy of Art in London (Royal College of Art), in 1970 he moved to the United States, where he became one of the most successful fashion photographers in the past four decades.

Dear visitors of the forum, very interesting to "hear" your answers a few questions

1. Can a photograph be compared with artists - namely, to create images and pictures of them, because it makes the artist, painting on canvas scenes (images) out of his imagination?

2. How do you feel about the fact that the picture can be sold 100 times, namely, the circulation of 100/100 ie owner of one and the same photos can be 100 people and each of them pay for their mark, let's say $ 1000?

3. You buy a photo? If yes, why? If No, again, why?

I would be very glad to see your answers.

a complex question. I, for example, have a picture of Rasputin. can consider it a rarity, which will be or is any money? I gave her for $ 1000. it expensive? that it is a very rare thing no questions, because Rasputin was photographed very rarely, not because, for example, members of the royal family, and is in it something mystical and more involved. I like it, so bought it. something very specific, it is possible that there are collectors who for her then I will give 20 thousand dollars is not excluded.

of negative pictures will not say anything because I do not think it is not a rarity or antique because of the possibility of reproducing the object through a printing negative. negative - is another matter
