I will be in New York City tonight and tomorrow. If you know of anything tonight photography oriented…let me know.
I will be speaking at B&H Tuesday afternoon on Successful Websites for Photographers:
| Date: | Tuesday, February 24, 2009 |
| Time: | 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM |
| Hosts: | J Sandifer & Lou Manna |
| Location: | B&H Event Space 420 9th Avenue New York, NY
J has been with liveBooks for 2.5 years this month! He has the pleasure of traveling the country speaking to photography groups of all types. He came to liveBooks as an expert in the wedding industry, and says he continues to learned a ton about the commercial world by sitting on panels with creative directors and art buyers, by speaking to many liveBooks clients on the phone and by swapping secrets with his counterparts who shoot commercially. He truly enjoys consulting photographers on how to grow their businesses. He and his fiancé run a wedding studio in Portland, ME. This past year, they raised their prices by 25% and shot 43 weddings (crazy!). They did this by developing a strong brand and have recently done something quite unique: video testimonials. In today’s market it is important to stand out from the crowd. J loves helping photographers grow their businesses and come up with great ideas to make you remarkable!
Lou Manna is an award winning Olympus Visionary photographer whose work has appeared in national ad campaigns, major magazines, and more than forty books. After shooting for the New York Times from 1975 to 1990, he went on to establish his own Fifth Avenue studio, where he works with corporate, advertising and public relations clients to create photos that can only be described as “exquisite”. He has a sense of style, color and composition with an inherent sense of beauty. Lou recently authored his first book, Digital Food Photography, the only book on the art of food photography devoted exclusively to digital technology. He is currently writing another book and teaching digital food photography workshops and private hands on classes in his studio. View Lou’s work at |
