It’s not just business, it’s personal.
Photography is the greatest job in the world! Every day we have the opportunity to capture images with our talent and technical abilities. But to create “Art” we have to put in something of our heart and soul as well. This program is about taking all the things that make us who we are and using them to our advantage in the business of photography. Your personality, not your camera is your biggest money making asset. During this full day program we will also discuss common business mistakes and how to avoid them. We will talk about taking a successful wedding business into the future and evolving it into a high end portrait studio. We will also discuss building a consistent, safe workflow process from raw capture, presentation and sales, designing a storytelling album, to finished product, retouching, printing, and framing.
Adilfa and Russ Ford of Don Polo Photography have been doing photography professionally for over 16 years and have traveled all over the world both photographing events and speaking to other photographers. Adilfa is the beauty, the personality, and the brains behind the business and Russ is …, well Russ is there to follow Adilfa around and clean up the mess. Well, really Russ has a background in computers and is a great technical resource for everything computer or electronic as well as being a photographer and graphic designer.
