are several websites which provide you the opportunity to display all
of your images online. If someone buys your photo, they will take care

the customer. This enables you to focus on your art while they help you
run your business side of things. They take a cut of your profit, but

About Me
My name is Kyle Franklin
Neuberger and I like to say that I am "bi-occupied" as a photo artist
(night job) and online marketing strategist (day job). The combination
of these passions allow me to help artists market themselves and their
work more effectively. My obsession is to create contemporary wall art and triptych art that is unlike anything seen before.
