First of all I have Doug's blessing to post this, in case anyone wonders if it's spam ;)

A little background first.
I've done graphic design for the past 10-12 years in a couple of different countries, traditional art for about 20 years and photography for the last 2 years. The graphic design have been focused mostly online and web development was my profession for nearly 8 years in L.A before I left and came over here to the UK a couple of years ago.
Now I'm leaving that behind (as much as I possibly can) and that's where Artfinity comes into the picture.

Artfinity will at some point become a store/art studio in Chesterfield when I've found the right premises for it. But until then we're operating from home.
And I'm writing about this because I've seen so many stunning galleries around here and I have a proposition for those of you who are interested.

Artfinity have a lease service, both for photos and traditional art. Our customers, who are mainly other companies and also governmental institutions, will lease framed prints from us to put on their walls. After 8 weeks we exchange those prints for other prints that they've picked out.
Because of this, we need to expand our collection of photos and that's where you come in.

If your photos are among those that will end up on a wall somewhere, it means exposure for 8 weeks and you get paid for it. Since we just started this service, we cannot offer you a fortune as payment, and for now it's 35% after all the costs have been paid for.
I might also add that the copyright will stay with the photographer at all times, your name will be printed on the matting and we will provide your contact information to any customer who wants to know more about your photos.

There are more information about this at Artfinity under the menu Contributions on the right side if you are interested.
I might bug some of you a bit laters about this over PM and if you're not interested, just tell me to go away and I'm gone :D

A contract will be written between you and Artfinity that will state what I've just written above.

So if you want to join us, send me a PM here so I can take a peek at your gallery. Your original photos have to be of a high quality and clarity, so dive into those backups and take a closer look before you get in touch.
And in case of any rejections - please don't take it personal. I'm looking for shots that will look good on the walls in places like waitingrooms, offices, hospitals and so on, so it's more about the subject than anything else.

That's it :D

If you have questions you can either ask them in here or over PM, that's up to you :)
