I’ll be discussing how these changes have particularly affected photographers who’ve been shooting for over 15 years. These photographers are the ones most deeply concerned that in this economy, they can’t afford to “not know what they don’t know.” They suspect that things are different when it comes to promoting their work in the digital age, but are not sure which things they should implement and which things they can ignore.
Nothing changes faster than online promotion. What worked great last year is not what works the best this year. At this event I’ll provide some tips, guidelines and resources, on how to stay current.
In a recession when work is harder to find and pricing is dropping daily, you can’t afford to shoot yourself in the foot with an outmoded promotional strategy. Buyers have exponentially greater choices; don’t let them pass you by because your online strategy is not as good as your imagery.
How do you best differentiate yourself from the rising tide of part-time photographers armed with high-res point-and-shoot cameras?
