Traub, C (2006) The Artist in the Marketplace in The Education of a Photographer

The Artist in The Marketplace
The ongoing debate about state support of culture. Potential difficulties in photography as a contemporary art medium is that aligns the medium with the essentially elitist discourse of art. 
Photography everyone can have an opinion on.
Public access and a degree of ownership of visual culture
Large publishing houses taking on titles, for magazines 
Magazine culture fugitive and market-driven
A group that is strongly motivated could easily design and make there own magazine (this is what really happened in the magazine industry)
Don't ask one single person for their advice ask many people in the same are group who class you as there equal
Networking is very important (finding people who share your values)
Separate documentary photography from fashion and advertising photography. Documentary something shifts when we look at the image of real events on still form.
Galleries are best for photographers who want to use real social issues to photography.
Our media environment deals with lots of different perspectives of the same image
Generally and culturally we have different interpretations of a world issue
Fashion is culturally degraded and undervalued use of photography
