How can i get my photography exhibited?

[kot]

Hey i am an 18 year old (based in london)and have been shooting live artists for around 3 years now and managed to build up a large portfolio of work. I would love to exhibit my photography in a public space..
Any ideas on how to do that? I know i could go around art galleries and show them my work but is there an easier way?
Such as maybe a website where you can submit photographs to them and if they like it they can chose to exhibit the shots?

Thanks

go to your local town centre and ask if they are having any new photograpers exhibitions

I wish things were as easy as that, but they're really not. They only advice i could give is that you have to become a stalker, I'm afraid you do have to go to galleries, e-mail the curaters, call them constantly.
More often than not.. they'll shut the phone on your face, however there are times where they're genuinely interested.

What i do is send an e-mail with some of my work attached, simple captions underneath (VERY) briefly describing the work and my details, then i usually do a follow up call.

Try approaching art magazines.

Try them, they're very interested in new young talent!

Good luck!
