What should I demonstrate at my art fair booth during a scheduled presentation time?

Keep demonstrations simple, authentic, and relevant to your actual practice. If you typically photograph live subjects but can’t have them at the fair, use replicas or props that make the demonstration fun and approachable—even acknowledge the substitute humorously. For example, use replica bugs if you photograph insects, or fresh wildflowers as an accessible alternative. Focus on teaching attendees something they can try themselves (like macro photography with smartphones). Make it interactive and light, not a formal course. The goal is connection and demonstrating your expertise, not perfection.
