However, what you have to do is investigate your market very deeply.

Marketing 101 = "there is a market for everything"

If I did work like yours I would be looking to place it in venues that cater to the alternative market - alternative book stores and some other places might be more accepting for display than "Ye Olde Coffee Shoppe". Where I live I could immediately think of at least 6 possibilities... and I'm sure there are more.

As jmc says do some research first... but I will add that you should also think "far and wide" and not on a strictly local level. If you are in Oregon you might want to explore suitable outlets to display and sell your work from, say, Seattle, north of you, to San Francisco in the south, and points in between such as the many small galleries in northern California, and not rely solely on such as Eugene or Portland.

You don't.

You find someone that believes in you in you let them do the legwork.  Sound familiar?  That's what agencies do for models, photography reps do for photographers.

A photographer rep is probably out of the question, they'll want to see your bottom line and they make the coin lining up photographers with commercial clients, not galleries.  Your best bet is to find someone to knock on gallery doors with a flip book to sell the concept of doing a show.  This could be a model, a friend or you could hire someone.

The work must be thematic, have a target audience to attract and from photo to frame must be high quality.  Also be prepared to make little money after all the commissions are paid.

Good luck!
