I highly recommend taking a peek at Heather Morton’s new post on her blog, Heather Morton Art Buyer. Heather provides interesting and extremely valuable insight into her process. Many are quick to vilify an art buyer when the job doesn’t go their way, but it isn’t always as simple (or as personal) a decision orContinue reading “Required Reading: Being an Art Buyer”

Q&A: Role of personal work?
What is the role of a photographer’s personal work? As a photographer, how do you negotiate the two halves of your creative self? Does there have to be a separation between the two? As a buyer, do separate bodies of work confuse things or make an individual more interesting? What if a photographer’s personal andContinue reading “Q&A: Role of personal work?”

NEW Q&A: Equipment
Q & A: Was there a piece of equipment that saved the shoot? The most valuable thing to have on a shoot when you hit a snag is the ability to be creative and resourceful. I’ve put this question out to a select group of photographers and stylists to see what has gotten them throughContinue reading “NEW Q&A: Equipment”
New Images from Ryan Schude!
It’s always a good day when you’re photographers email you new work. Even though those days are becoming more frequent than not, I still get really excited! Here are some new selects from Ryan Schude which will be on display at Noni Boutique on Larchmont in Los Angeles. Until then, enjoy!
Put your ego to rest and make great images
Why do photographers shy away from collaborating with other photographers? I understand the need for complete control and, from a rep’s standpoint, I do like to see a portfolio that is representative of a clear personal vision. That being said, when you’re presented with the opportunity to collaborate with people whose work you admire, whyContinue reading “Put your ego to rest and make great images”
If you value art so much…
…then pay artists! Google recently offered dozens of artists the chance to design skins for their new browser. However, when they asked how much they’d be paid, Google responded that their payment would be no more than really glorious exposure. I do understand there are thousands of struggling designers out there who would love theContinue reading “If you value art so much…”
Photographers looking for reps, read me!
If you’re not reading A Photo Editor regularly, I’d recommend making it part of your routine. Here is an amazing interview with Deborah Schwartz, a great rep on the west coast, who talks about which photographers actually need reps and some of the mistakes photographers make wanting to be represented too early in their career.
Submit Your Test Shots!
Photographers’ test shots are one of my many favorite things… kind of like photo rep candy (they taste almost as sweet as great promos and art buyers who answer their phones). If you know me, you know that I adore all my photographers and love to see them having a great time in front ofContinue reading “Submit Your Test Shots!”
Vendor/Client Virval Video
Here is a hilarious video which is appearing all over the photo-world. Let it be known that I realize this is a completely one-sided argument. Photographers should always hold firm on the value of their images and their work. That being said, business is always going to be a give and take… everyone involved needsContinue reading “Vendor/Client Virval Video”

Q&A Series: Loyality vs. New Talent?
Q & A SERIES: With budgets tightening, is now the time to stick to your regular photographers, or are you reaching out to new talent?
