It can be difficult for artists & creators to get exposure but Baltimore Snapshot, a photo series by Baltimore Photographer Nick Hanyok, is trying to change that. Each month beginning in January 2018, he will highlight a creator, giving a brief bio and a few examples of their work.
The photographer hopes to show how these Baltimore creators get inspired, the challenges they’ve overcome and the accomplishments they’ve achieved. “I want other artists or creators to see these snapshots and realize, it may be tough, but that is no reason to give up on their dream. My hope is that any artistic & creative mind sees these snapshots and it motivates them to keep creating!”
The secondary goal of Baltimore Snapshot is to help facilitate a new image of Charm City. Baltimore is home to a vibrant arts scene made up of so many friendly and creative people. It’s alive with amazing talent in so many different forms. That’s not what you hear when people talk about Baltimore. It’s time to change that!
These ideas are the foundations of Baltimore Snapshot. Giving local artists and businesses a platform while showing the world that Baltimore is home to creative and friendly people.
In addition to telling their story through the Snapshot, the photographer will provide the artist & creator with various headshots, a shoot to help promote themselves and fully edited images for the artist/creator to use how they wish. Nick Hanyok Imaging will also run ads on social media to spread the word on that month’s artist.
“This ongoing photography project is my way of highlighting and helping Baltimore’s creative landscape and the charming city they live in”, Nick Hanyok.
