LOOKBetween

My first LOOKbetween gathering was incredibly inspiring. I was honored to have been invited. David Alan Harvey, Mike Davis and I spoke with a small group of photographers titled, “Why make a photograph? Understanding & Harnessing the Photographic Instinct” (quite a privilege). It was a loose format with so many great questions and comments that I learned as well as taught. I thrive and specialize in this kind of safe, casual environment for teaching.

Thank you GRAIN for the invitation and to the photographers who were present.

I spoke about content strategy for photographers, particularly how you can use apps, e-books and other new technologies to repackage existing content into effective marketing tools. This was an online webinar where I presented real-world visual examples of how photographers have successfully approached building an effective content strategy and an overview of tools that can be used to streamline the process.

Thank you ASMP and Judy Herrmann for the invitation. To all the attendees, thank you for your time and attention.
