Hi Alison, I would echo Al's thoughts as an approach worth considering. And I would also endorse your idea of exhibitions. Raising funds for the local Mountain Rescue Team would go a long way to getting your name known. If you do that, ensure you have plenty of cards about the place, and you could also follow it up with a photo documentary about the team in the local press to help their fundraising efforts. I think that half the battle is to make your name as well known as possible. I also think that non-refundable deposits, taken with the booking would help. I like the photos you have posted so far but would like to see them larger.
