Q&A: A New Magazine Model, 1000Words

A New Magazine Model, Part 2 This month, we’re picking up where we left off examining new approaches to the traditional magazine model. One of the things I see as a big difference in the last few years is an audience’s capacity to wait for new content. We want everything now, and then we wantContinue reading “Q&A: A New Magazine Model, 1000Words”

The sunny side of Ryan Schude.

For photographers, blogs can be a great way to show off work you wouldn’t immediately put in your portfolio. There’s less pressure with a blog to post an image that is a final product, and your readers can follow your trials along the way, which, in some cases, can allow them to feel closer toContinue reading “The sunny side of Ryan Schude.”

Photographer’s Location, Continued.

Our last Q&A discussed how a photographer’s location factors into their career and business. I put this question out to some of my favorite people in the industry and received some amazing responses. Neil Binkley from Wonderful Machine, wrote me a wonderful piece to use in the Q&A. Unfortunately, I could only use an excerptContinue reading “Photographer’s Location, Continued.”

Q&A: A Photographer’s Location

Q&A: How does a photographer’s location affect their career? This is one of the questions I always get asked by photographers. Once upon a time, clients could afford to fly you, your assistants, and your ten thousands bags of equipment anywhere they wanted. Now, with the budgets collapsing and the competition from small towns growing,Continue reading “Q&A: A Photographer’s Location”

Photo of my day

Here is a photograph from a recent advertising campaign shot by our photographer Evan Kafka. Isn’t it gorgeous?! The shot was originally in color, but then Evan thought he’d try transferring it to black and white. Something about this man’s intense look and the way his face falls into his hand make this image completelyContinue reading “Photo of my day”

The Ultimate Photo Camping Trip!

I love camping. I love photographers. A camping trip with a bunch of photographers!?! YES. Apparently, there’s something different in the air in California. From my desk chair here in New York, it seems photographers in LA and San Fran simply like each other more. They also like to work with each other and getContinue reading “The Ultimate Photo Camping Trip!”

Finn O’Hara and a very large dog named Darcy

As an agent, I get oodles of promotional emails a day from photographers. Don’t get me wrong, I’m not complaining! I love seeing new work from people. That being said, sometimes I have the time to look and click around, other days I’m so busy that I’m only checking the emails that are absolutely necessary.Continue reading “Finn O’Hara and a very large dog named Darcy”

Q&A: Portfolio Updates

How often should a photographer update their print portfolio? How about the website? Does putting new work on a blog count? With all the internet avenues to show off new work, it is hard to know how often to update your portfolios. How regularly should a photographer update their printed portfolio? When should they addContinue reading “Q&A: Portfolio Updates”

NEW Q&A: Is it time to stop assisting?

While the becoming a photographer doesn’t have the clear career progression some professions do, there is an ideal order to things: assist your idols and eventually leave the nest when you’re ready. However, with magazines becoming scarce and the number of assignments to be had dwindling, breaking out on your own is more difficult thanContinue reading “NEW Q&A: Is it time to stop assisting?”

New Q&A!

Q&A Series: Photographers Who Do Video With all the modern technology floating around (video on your phone? really?) photographers are forced to be at the forefront of it all in order to stay competitive. Does being on top of new trends mean photographers must now make the leap to video? Many certainly are. With stillContinue reading “New Q&A!”

Portfolio Meetings Make Reps Happy

… or at least they make ME happy. I can’t say enough how nice it is to meet people in person rather than the typical phone/email/phone/email virtual runaround. Call me old fashioned, but I like to meet people in person, shake their hands, and see their faces as they look through the photographers’ portfolios. TheContinue reading “Portfolio Meetings Make Reps Happy”
