Only you can determine if it's "worth it". First, what are your goals as a photographer? Do you want to develop a fine arts portfolio, have gallery shows, etc.? Then yes, it's worth the experience/expense/etc.
That being said, and realistically speaking, unless your images really resonate with the audience (i.e. wildlife shots in a predominantly nature-loving community, beach/shore images in a beach community, etc.), or unless you or your subjects are really well known, it is unlikely you will sell enough to even break even. Add to that the cost of renting space and tent, and that your images need to be priced "competitively", and you can see this is an exercise in "experience."
Of course, you might be The One that breaks all the rules and hits it out of the park the first time at bat :-) |
