One of my greatest joys is to share what I’ve learned with others. Thank you to everyone who honored me with an invitation and to everyone willing to listen.

National Press Photographer’s Association Annual Northern Short Course

It was so nice to be invited to speak and support a fantastic organization. I spoke with photographers about brand and marketing with a focus on the fundamentals of building a portfolio website and its place in marketing.

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.

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.
