Carolyn has many years of experience as a photographers' rep, and she will dispense invaluable information about market trends and client feeding habits. Check it out--you may think you already know this stuff, but it's changed since you last looked. We don't spend our lives researching the market... consultants do.

Carolyn will also be offering private consultations and there are discounts for signing up early. See below for all details.

This event is being sponsored by AdBase and by liveBooks. Both offer great marketplace services to photographers, and we're happy to have their support. Please check out their websites and support our sponsors!

• Ever wonder how some photographers seem to have all the luck?
• How come they always seem get the assignments you KNOW you could have shot--and maybe even shot better?
• Is there some 'magic' that they've discovered that you haven't?
  

It takes more than a great eye and competent shooting skills to survive and thrive in today's digital economy. If you'd like to learn what's really behind some of that apparent "luck" then attend Carolyn Potts' "Create Your Own Business Luck" talk on Thurs.,May 10th. She'll show you some of the essential marketing skills you MUST know to stay alive in today's commercial photography business. It's only a mystery if you don't know how it's done.

Also.....

• Do you want to make sure you're putting your best foot forward when presenting your work to an agency?
• Do you want to make sure you're not turning someone off by showing images that you shouldn't?
• Do you want to know if you're showing enough images---or too many?
  

Then sign up for a portfolio/website review. Having made thousands of portfolio presentations to art buyers and art directors, Carolyn will give you the candid and valuable feedback art buyers give reps--- but they never give photographers. Learn what they want and how they want to see it.
