Lasse Damgaard is a 19 year old photographer from Denmark. He is also one of RedBubble’s top sellers when it comes to wall art. Let’s find out what Lasse is doing so right. Vitals: / Works on RedBubble: 41 / Artwork descriptions: short and descriptive, no bling / Tags: 5-10 main key words per image / Groups: member of 1 geographical group / Journals: none / Other sites: personal site coming soon, deviantART / Christian Science Center by Lasse Damgaard Tell us a bit about yourself as an artist and how that fits in with the rest of your life. / / Well, at the moment, almost all of my time is being put into photography – I’m attending a photographic school, learning about the world of analogue photography, something I have never worked with before, so it’s nice to discover a whole new side of yourself. During the last two years, I’ve been switching between working over hours for months, without having any time or energy to spare for creativity, and temporarily quitting my job to travel the world in search of beautiful pictures and portraits – until I go broke and have to take a seat behind the register at the supermarket once again. / / / European Portraits No. 10 by Lasse Damgaard What about your sales on RedBubble? Do you have a best seller? / / I think my best selling picture is one titled ‘Carousel’ – for that simple reason that it’s timeless. It’s a shot of a ride in a danish amusement park, but judging from the picture alone, it can almost be placed anywhere between the present and a hundred years back – and I think that’s what people like so much about it. / Carousel by Lasse Damgaard / / How do you promote your art outside of RedBubble? Apart from an upcoming personal website, I have spent an enormous amount of time and energy on deviantART.com, which was also the birthplace of my interest in photography. Although I don’t have as much time to spare now as I did when I first joined the site, I still check it on a regular basis, and still stumble over amazing photographers from time to time. / Luxembourg by Lasse Damgaard As a photographer, what services do you offer? I’ve been a volunteer photographer for a few events, latest one held by the Danish Cancer Society, and have done some freelance work for companies from time to time, just to make a little extra on the side. I don’t always enjoy it though, since it mostly puts a stop to the creative way of thinking, because you suddenly have all sorts of rules you have to follow! Oh, and I don’t do weddings. Never again. / ARoS by Lasse Damgaard Imagine your at an exhibition opening and a potential buyers says to you “tell me about your art?” – what do you say? / / I think my answer would go something along the lines of “Art? What art? I don’t see any art around here! Just pictures!”. I’ve grown so tired of the words ‘art’ and ‘artist’, that when I hear either, they both sound strangely like ‘bullshit’! I’ve seen too many stuck-up, self absorbed, talentless people use it about themselves and the crap they make, to take it seriously – and have simply decided to boycott it! / The Passenger by Lasse Damgaard / / How well do your personal favourites sell? / / My personal favourite has surprisingly not made a single sale. Others have strangely become some of my favourites after they started selling, not because I make a little money off of them, but because it’s nice to see that people appreciate them! / / / Winterdream by Lasse Damgaard How do you price your work? / / Well, to be honest, I’m not on RedBubble to make a living. I like the fact that something I have made is out there, making someone happy, or perhaps intrigued, so I tend to set my prices low so people can afford it! / Spring by Lasse Damgaard / / How well do your limited edition prints sell compared to unlimited prints on RedBubble? I just started selling limited editions and I have to admit sales aren’t exactly going as well as they are on RedBubble… But hopefully, with a bit of luck, I’ll one day be able to make enough off of it to quit my job and travel the world! Ah yes, daydreams are wonderful, aren’t they? / Discontent by Lasse Damgaard Lasse will be dropping in on this thread so please feel free to ask questions in the comments
