Clients are delighted to be able to hire a team together who will take the photos and do the design. It strengthens our work because they get two sets of eyes - that work well together. We have both taken a business class for artists from the local Community Development Corp. It was great to be with a variety of 18 artists together. Some of us have taken to showing together more - we have deepened out relationship with some of the other artists. It was very fruitful and I think a lot more collaborations will be coming out of our group. ~ Diane Clancy I really like the idea of collaboration … my partner, Susan Elkin http://www.dianeclancy.com/susan, and I work together as a team with our graphic design and photography businesses.
