The Photographer's Survival Guide

Presented by Suzanne Sease and Amanda Sosa Stone

Today’s photography assignment world is changing dramatically. With so much world devastation, the dot-com market going bust, stock vs. assignment, etc… how is a photographer to keep up?

Join Suzanne and Amanda as they present solutions to this vexing problem.

Each participant will receive a “Survivor’s Guide”. The guide covers subjects ranging from photography business practices to those uncomfortable “what do I do” moments in our industry. It’s a 60 page booklet with real estimates, production sheets and things to help you get the repeat business because of your level of professionalism. Including:
- Information on to whom you need to market
- How to present your marketing material
- Copies of estimates expected by clients
- Copies of invoices that are expected when you finish the project
- Crew expectation
- And most importantly – Making the client feel like, well, the client

The Survivor’s Guide is also a resource guide with helpful information, including:
- Correct usage terms
- Portfolio makers
- Website builders
- Printers
- Fulfillment houses
- Deadlines for the important award shows

The bottom line – This IS the photographer’s guide on how to survive in this industry.
