Session 1: Do More With Your Photography: Best Practices On Promoting Yourself and Your Work

To many photographers, marketing is an enigma. Although there are countless books on the subjects many photographers still have difficulty promoting themselves and their work to the right audience and in the right way. Although you may believe your work may speak for itself, successful marketing techniques are essential to get you noticed by prospective clients-from art directors to ad agencies to art buyers. In addition to having a well-thought out and professionally printed portfolio, today's photographers need to know how to leverage Web 2.0 tools such as social networking, blogs and community sites to get the word out and receive the right exposure in front of the right audience.

Session 3: Learn How To Effectively Combine Video And Stills To Stand Out In The Sea Of Photographers

For today's photographers, it's all about being unique and providing a level of originality that clients are not likely to find anywhere else. Being different is good as long as quality and professionalism don't suffer as a result. One area where some progressive photographers are standing out from their peers is by creatively shooting both stills and video together in order to capture the most dynamic images.
Join Celebrity Photographer Robert Evans as he discusses how to effectively shoot both stills and video together for the creation of Photo Fusion pieces that will set you apart from the competition. Learn technical skills including workflow and video preparation, video editing and final mastering for DVDs, iPods, etc...
