Photographer-Marketing Tips

I teach photography to all kinds of photographers around the globe. You can be the most talented photographer and creator out there on your skill set, but if you don’t have any business acumen, nor knowledge of how to market or to coordinate a web page, you may find yourself in trouble finding work. I see it so much in our field. Most think the work will bring people in based on talent alone, but that is not the case.
