| Build a Winning Architectural Portfolio |  By Alan Blakely
Perhaps one of the most difficult aspects of breaking into
architectural photography is assembling a portfolio. Without a great
portfolio it’s nearly impossible to get an assignment. However, many
photographers find that putting together a beginning architectural
portfolio is an overwhelming challenge.

| Another Camera Paradigm Shift... Mamiya Gets Sensible |  By Kirk Tuck
If you’ve read my stuff here this year you probably know that I’ve had
the opportunity to test a couple other medium format digital camera
systems. And every one of them had a unique selling proposition. But
the one thing they all seemed to have in common was price tag on par
with the sticker price of a nice BMW automobile. If you’ve read my

| Understanding the Ins and Outs of Your Profitability |
 By Chris and Katie Humphreys
It’s not uncommon, especially around Christmas , to be walking through
the shops and see every retailer announcing the latest deal on clothes,
movies, kitchen gadets – you name it, there’s some sort of sale going
on just about everything. But what many people don’t realize is that
on retail clothing for instance, it’s not uncommon to have a 500%
markup! No wonder it’s so common to hear of every retailer within a 10
mil...

| The Eternity of Maternity |
 By Chris Grey
Last month I wrote about business opportunities that present themselves
for those of us who can light and pose ordinary people in an
extraordinary manner, and in an innocent yet sexually suggestive way
that transcends any sort of traditional portraiture, that being boudoir
portraiture.

| The Real Test |
 By Marc Muench
The concept that my images may be around in the distant future
illustrating just how incredible this planet was, is flattering for
some vein sense, but that is not entirely true. Images of historic
events as well as the state in which locations were in hundreds of
years ago is always compelling, and for that reason, it would be
helpful if the prints I made today had a chance at looking similar in
hundreds of years. Furthermore, the folks who have spent good money on
my pri...

| Lions and Tigers and Bears! Oh My!!! |
 By Steve Dantzig
OK, I’m just having some fun with the title for this month’s article.
I’m going to share some somewhat random thoughts with you this time
around, but I will start with my take on the light meter issue—this is
NOT a critique of anyone’s approach or work flow—rather it is an
attempt to show how valuable the light meter is in MY work flow.

| Using Promotional Video |
 By Jasmine Star
A couple months ago, I had the pleasure of collaborating with a
videographer to produce a promotional video. At first I was leery
because it felt more than a little VAIN. Like, Hey, Look! At! Me! But
the more I thought about it, the more I realized it could be an amazing
tool to connect with prospective clients. There’s no better way to
gain a client’s trust than to show yourself in action. So that’s what
I agreed to do.

| Post Processing |
 By Wes Kroninger
I got a lot of interest last week regarding the images that I discussed
in my article on shooting outdoors. Most of the questions were
regarding the post processing that was done to the images. I want to
describe the process to you in this article. I am admittedly not a
Photoshop expert so please don't send me emails telling me I have it
all wrong. I probably have it all wrong, but my ignorance is bliss.

| Marketing Part 2 - Do It and Do It Often |
 By Joel Grims
In part one on marketing, we looked at the two things that keep most of
us from marketing effectively. First and foremost, we must overcome
our fear of rejection. And second, we must be willing to work hard to
compete in today’s marketplace. It seems that the level of competition
is greater today that ever before, and success as a photographer is no
easy task.

| DMCA Takedown Notices |
 By Carolyn E. Wright
A judge has ordered in the Lenz v. Universal Music case that copyright
owners must consider whether an unauthorized use of a copyrighted work
qualifies as fair use before sending a “DMCA takedown notice.” A
takedown notice is used by copyright owners to ask Internet Service
Providers (ISP) to remove their materials that have been posted without
permission. Get instructions on how to send a DMCA takedown notice in
my article.
