Attraction

A metaphorical representation of when one feels an attraction that they know is wrong, doomed, and futile, where the only certainty is that someone is going to get hurt, where the allure is so compelling that all sensible judgment is ignored… Pictured is a Naïve little bomb that has unexpectedly spotted a naked flame. It’s eyes are transfixed on the burning glow and the wick has begun to instinctively move towards it…....... What next??? Scotty (｡◕‿‿◕｡)

From the article “Images that Intrigue” by Peter Skinner www.aftercapture.com A superb example of a campaign eliciting / that emotional response is one of / Dean’s most recent success stories—images / for an ongoing series, “Fabricate,” for / couture designers MXM Couture (www. / mxmcouture.com). Significantly, the initial / two images in the “Fabricate” campaign / claimed first and second place in / the latest Commercial/Advertising Photographer / of the Year International Aper-ture Awards. In the only other competition / Dean has entered—as a student—he / claimed a gold and silver distinction and / a runner-up award for prints in the annual / Australian Professional Photographers / Association awards. / “ ‘Fabricate’ is a collaboration of / some of the best stylists and production / people that Australia has to offer / and I feel it definitely shows. There will / be five images in the series and the first / two took months to produce so there are / still three more to complete. It’s a really / exciting campaign,” says Dean. / “Fabricate,” as Dean explains, has a / double meaning and is an exploration / into conceptualization; its execution / is definitely a mental exercise. “ ‘Fabricate’ / refers both to the subject of fashion / photography, the clothes, and more / importantly to the images’ fabrication—how they are created in the sense that / they are highly stylized pre- and postproduction / collages,” he says. / Each image is designed and created / with the intention of arousing intense curiosity / and examination into not only its / finality but also how it was made and its / underlying theme. “The images turn the / exhibition of fashion through photography / back on itself by exposing the process / of exhibition itself—exhibiting the / exhibit, if you will,” says Dean. While this / is a classic case of a picture being worth a / thousand words, Dean points out that the / multi-layered images allow viewers to analyze / the process of digital photography itself, / which incorporates surreally collaged / objects or has perfectly manicured and / poised models caught in mid-jump. / “The series is united by a sense of volatility,” / Dean says. “Subjects are frozen within / turbulent scenes. This chaos, depicted / through flapping wings, flowing dresses / and crashing objects, is meant to reflect / the flippant, fleeting and unstable nature / of the fashion industry. And yet within this / chaos each image captures an ephemeral / moment of beauty, allowing the models to / maintain their dominance—to which the / audience is unwittingly subjected.” Scrutinize / the superb images and you will see / exactly what he means. / As with all complex and multi-faceted / campaigns, the genesis of “Fabricate” has / been long and demanding. Several months / were devoted to drafting the original concepts, / set building, hair and costume design. / Each image is multi-layered and the / set design was a combination of over 20 / different elements. All backgrounds for / the series’ images were shot in an old museum, / a location that provided ideal elements / such as walls, floors and windows. / A major technical challenge was ensuring / consistency of lighting—its quality, intensity / and direction. A Sydney retouching / company, Electric Art (www.electricart. / com.au), was hired for conformity maintenance— / to ensure the same look and feel / was infused into each image, / With two “Fabricate” images under / his belt, Dean is now working on the remaining / three but no specifics have been / finalized—although the models have / been selected and some shooting on various / elements has been completed. Don’t / be surprised, however, if themes such as / exorcism, dead swans and models in dark / or macabre locations are featured.

Using the Group Sales Widget to Attract Art Buyers

We previously talked about how RedBubble Groups bond artists by subject matter, and how they are also powerful search silos (marketers call them verticals) that can direct shoppers to targeted subjects on RedBubble. Say you’re shopping for abstract art. RedBubble has a beautiful collection of abstract art in Groups. The abstract art group is flush with relevant text, fresh with a diverse art collection, and gets lots of Google love because of third-parties (you and me) link into the Group page. Here’s a free and easy way to help the last point – for any group. Group Hosts can enable a widget that shows Featured Work in a small and attractive slideshow. This widget can be added to personal websites, and as Denis Leary says, “bliggity blogs, facey spaceys and tweetie pages.” This Groups widget features the same format as the personal artwork widget that many members already use; found in the promote area of MyBubble. The opportunity for search engines to home in on a Group page is bettered when there are many links into that page from content rich websites, blogs, social media pages, etc. Why? Google’s magical black box of calculations factors links into a page as part of a website’s Quality Score, i.e., how well the search term matches the page content. If every member posted a link to their Group(s) on their blog using the Group subject as the link, e.g., Abstract art prints, calendars and greeting cards, along with the widget, there would likely be a measurable effect on Group page visitors via natural (organic and unpaid) search results – which is good for everyone in the group. The result is compounded when those links come from sites that already have a good PageRank on Google. Are you still asking why you should promote your Group in addition to your own work? The simple answer is that the collective power of Group referrals helps direct visitors (shoppers) that might otherwise never see your art. Simply put, a better Google Quality Score equals more search engine exposure, and more exposure is good. All of us are pursuing art for different reasons, but most of us want exposure, validation, mind-share, and sales. And in a collective, creative space like RedBubble, good karma, back scratching, collaboration, and referrals go a long way. To allow Group members to use the widget, Hosts need to go to the “Settings” area of their Group and tick the box next to the “Show promote tab?” text. Here are images of the Promote widget and the tick box. / Promote widget / Activate the Promote widget Final note: Hosts control the widget at this time; there is a simple on/off function. In the far future we’ll look to give members control of whether or not to have their work included in the widget. We researched this option after receiving feedback, but it’s a bridge too far at the moment. Thanks! Regards, / Jason
