The Classical Elements - Earth - Fine Arts Photography Exchange 2008
Welcome to the second Four Oceans Press’s quarterly Fine Arts Photography exchange.
Please read all details before signing up for this exchange.
How it works: This is a simple print exchange open to all Fine Art Photographers, who
work in Traditional Film or Digital Media.
You print an edition of 26 prints of your photographic image. You will have about three
months between sign up and deadline so you have plenty of time to be creative and explore
the theme.
Send in your signed and numbered photographic prints as soon as they are finished. We will
coordinate and collate the prints and return to you a pile of 25 prints from 25 different
photographers.
The 26th set will go into our archives and will be permanently displayed on a separate page
on our website, linked to your website (if you have one) and may be used for future
projects. You can see an archive of a previous project - The Movement 2008 Fine Arts
Photography Exchange to get an idea of what our Archive looks like.

Hints on writing your biography
Include your name, city/country, type of art, and then tell a bit about your work.
First, determine if you are talking about all of your work, a small part of your work or a
particular piece of your art. When attempting to describe your work ask yourself:
Add your website or Blog URL (if you have one).
Check out Artist Foundation for more help writing a biography or artist statement.
Set up your own space on the web
If you don’t have one consider getting a free Blog to showcase your work.
If your are interested in a full website you can set up a free website at Geocities (a Yahoo!
company) or an inexpensive website hosted by Yahoo! by clicking on the banner to the left.
Both are easy to do even with very little computer expertise – you do not have to know
how to write computer code!

a really cool print exchange and challenging ourselves and you to become better and more
productive photographers.
If we want to use your image for something else later we will ask permission and discuss
compensation with you at that point.
