When creating video content where I talk to the camera, what's the single most important thing to remember?

Speaking directly to camera is one of the most powerful ways to connect with your audience. When you show your face and speak authentically about your work, your process, or your thoughts, you break down the barrier between you and potential collectors. Videos featuring you talking consistently get more views and engagement than static images alone because they let people connect with you as a person, not just your art. Don’t be shy—authenticity and relatability drive results.
