Max. enrollment: 20 students
It’s a critical stage in your career when money can be made from your photos. Your composition, lighting and technical classes have taken you up to this point, but they haven’t discussed the business side of photography. Because of this many photographers are left scrambling to understand basic trade practices and rights while shooting their first job or making their first print sale.
Copyright, Estimates, Pricing and You will help you understand the business side of photography and know how to value your work. Questions about how to price your work, communicate with clients, estimate a job, market yourself and bill customers will be addressed. The importance of a business plan will also be examined. Participants will leave the workshop with the essential business information needed to start their own photo enterprise.
