Raising Your Photography to a New Level and Marketing It

My guest in the Studio is writer and photographer Carren Strock.

Whether you’re shooting for fun, profit, using a throw-away camera or an expensive digital one, you can turn a basic photo into a great one, and have fun doing it.

We’ll discuss how to increase writing sales. We’ll briefly cover markets, client needs, guidelines, copyrights, model releases, record keeping, adverticals, and more.
