In this particular case I don’t think it’s a scam, but it felt kinda impersonal and indifferent, so I’m wondering if they maybe just hit up a lot of people and see what sticks.
@philphilphoto I get so called requests to exhibit in London, Venice, and Milan all the time. All scams where I have to pay a lot of fees to the “exhibitors.”
@tim Oh wow! Haha I guess my account is too small for those.
But yeah that's kiiinda similar to my case. The thing is … they aren't asking for a ton of money. Only 15 Euro (16USD). That's what got me wondering if they maybe ask lots of people, or what else their motivation might be. They certainly didn't care about my photos.
I’m still willing to give them the benefit of the doubt, though. Maybe they really are a small indie gallery with a fine tuned system of showcasing unknown people’s work. I would be so happy if this were true.
But their communication was so unenthusiastic, that I doubt they even looked at one of my photos. That alone is reason to decline.
