Photographer's Rights
I get this question every time I run my Business of Photography seminar at Vancouver Photo Workshops, and this article sums up the answer quite nicely.

Gettin' the Word Out
I wrapped another session of the Business of Photography seminar at Vancouver Photo Workshops last weekend. While the turnout wasn't huge, the attendees made up for it with their enthusiasm about the marketing, copyright and image licensing how-to material being presented, good on 'em.
Saturday afternoon was jam-packed with excitement as guest speakers Robert Karpa (of Venturi + Karpa fame) and Lisa Reddekopp (our insurance guru from Coast Capital) took over the big chair for their respective presentations; Robert on his approach to social media marketing and Lisa on, you guessed it, the ins and outs of insurance! Thanks again to both for their time & knowledge contribution.
As the seminar wound down I was presented with a Thank You card from the attendees, containing hand-written notes of appreciation from each attendee as well as a Starbuck's coffee card! I was a little touched, truth be told! What a great gesture, first time that's happened since the inception of this course over a year ago. Damn big of all of them!
Time to practice what I've been preaching. New promo imminent!
Stay tuned, it's gonna get interesting...

My Instructorial Debut...
For the first time in my career, in my life actually, I got excited about, wrote and presented a seminar at Vancouver Photo Workshops, a seminar covering various points on how to run a successful commercial photography business.
Everyone is aware of the general apprehension to public speaking that pretty much every human on the planet suffers from, myself included. For some reason I never felt nervous immediately prior to or during the presentation. I did have the 'Who am I to be presenting this material?' thoughts prior to writing the material for the big show. I kept telling myself that 'Someone has to get this info out there!' though and persevered.
We experienced a projector malfunction toward the end of the last class and I wasn't able to post my list of thank-you's to the people who donated time and information to the seminar. Here is the list:
Thanks to the following people & associations for the
information shared this weekend:

I hope that I was able to open a few eyes and minds as to the value of the medium I work in and love. It's the duty of every photographer to pass along information to the up-and-coming shooters out there. They're going to get their info from somewhere, let's make sure they're getting the proper information from reputable sources.
