ProProgram Social Show and Tell<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

On Sunday, photo students from\u00a0our ProProgram<\/a> met for a meal at a restaurant and descended on the studio for a “show and tell.”<\/p>\n

We meet regularly above and beyond the regular elements of their course work to exchange and share ideas, successes and challenges. Many present current projects and work. And I answered questions that support the student’s development.<\/p>\n

We covered:<\/strong><\/em>
\n\u2022 backdrop systems – studio and on-location
\n\u2022 available light vs studio lit assignment shooting
\n\u2022 negotiating contracts
\n\u2022 licensing imagery – things to consider<\/p>\n

The afternoon went quickly and information quickly got soaked up. One of the toughest elements in a photography startup isn’t the photography but the business aspects. There is a lot to learn technically\u00a0in photography but, equally as important, is understanding how to negotiate an agreement – understanding licensing, sales and other issues.<\/p>\n

I spoke with one photo graduate who kept reaching new heights, feeling too comfortable and then setting sights on greater goals. He reminded me of the story of Jonathan Livingstone Seagull<\/a> – a little common bird who progressed to great things.<\/p>\n

The ProProgram<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

I based the ProProgram<\/a> on what I wish I had access to when I started. In my early years I, erm, floundered more than I should have, both technically and from a business perspective. The Program is designed to help students achieve their goals from many difefrent perspectives, whether it’s just to improve photo skills dramatically or prepare for a business in photography!<\/p>\n
