Jeffrey’s Answer

Hi Ardarius,

I assume when you say "support" you mean help learning about careers, learning opportunities and just finding other people who share you interest or might already be earning a living as an artist or photogapher.

I don't know Memphis, but it is a big enough city that there must be resources there where you can meet people earning a living as an artist or photographer. These might be places where you can also learn what types of jobs are available in these fields, what type of training you need, and where to go to get that training.

The kinds of resources I am thinking of are museums, clubs, schools with weekend or evening community programs, libraries. A good place to start would be to ask a local librarian what types of resources exist in Memphis where people come together to learn, work and share their interest in art and photography.

Best of luck,
Jeff G

Hi Ardarius,

During this pandemic, I think the online option would be best for you. Apart from Facebook or Linkedin, you can try this site as well
https://www.thewanderinglens.com/6-best-social-platforms-photographers/
This site offers a few options and also has a list of other sites including Instagram which might be a good place to start with.

All the best

Joseph’s Answer

For support in terms of feedback and opinions, you might try posting your work online and asking for constructive criticism. I'm sure you've seen sites like DeviantArt for general art and photography, but there must be plenty of competitors, alternatives, and more specialised places depending on the specific sort of art and photography you're doing.

Also, for more in-person support, many places have local art clubs, camera or photography clubs and similar. Have a look if there's anything listed in your local community news, or just have a quick web search for clubs in your area.
