The Art of Business photography

I just got back from the ASMP South Florida branch seminar for “The Business of Photography and Industry Trends in a Changing Market” by Seth Resnick. This seminar was held at Andy Gato gallery at Barry University.The lecture focus on the needs of working photographer who are running their own digital photography business in the current digital world. Such as Determining Your Price, Providing Digital Receipts, Copyright, Model Releases, Negotiating Tactics, Social Networking, Licensing Stock and Fine Art.

We work in a competitive business where we must stay ahead of the game both artistically and technologically. However, few of us have changed our business tactics to compete in the global marketplace, and the business has changed dramatically. Photographers are spending more and more money shooting digitally, and are finding clients who are spending less and less. It’s time for change !!!
