Living in Pittsburgh, I walk the Three Rivers show both periods each year and introduce myself to the artists. If anyone is doing Three Rivers and needs a booth picture, give me a call (412-401-8100) and we'll set up a date. I've already been contacted by a few artists. I try to shoot before the show opens so I can work with the artist to arrange things to make the booth picture cleaner.

I photograph artwork and seem to specialize in jewelry, though I can photograph anything. A few artists have already made arrangements to come to my home studio prior to or after the show for me to photograph their artwork, or give me pieces to take home during the show which will then get mailed back after I photograph them.

I also walk Howard Alan's August Shadyside show and Fair in the Park at Mellon Park doing the same thing each year.

And if you're going to shoot your own booth picture, my list of tips is a great resource:
