ABSTRACT
Marshall Brown, a career coach from the College Art Association, says that the readers should develop a personal brand that communicates what they have to offer and what others (employers, clients, etc.) know they can offer. It’s common for emerging photographers to get jobs in a wide range of professions while also maintaining a part-time, freelance business in the gig economy. It’s tough, though certainly not impossible, to find gallery representation right out of college. Gallerists typically like to represent artists that come with a reputation and a high-potential clientele. An art gallery could consider recent graduates that have large numbers of active followers on social media and have a history of selling their work. Some students choose to work abroad for some time after college. The most common job position is teaching English in countries such as Japan.
