The Business of Photography

Tony Luna is an American author. I bought his book “How to Grow as a Photographer: Reinventing Your Career, and found many useful tips there.

Last Thursday, since it was Thanksgiving Day in the States, I decided to greet and thank a couple of Americans who regularly write or blog on the business of photography. Since books and other resources on this topic are few, I thought they deserved to be thanked.

Both (Selina Maitreya http://www.1portauthority.com/ and Tony Luna www.tonylunacreative.com) very graciously acknowledged my greetings. Tony pointed me to his blog on the Lifecycle of a Freelance Job http://photo.net/learn/photography-business/freelance-photography-advice/ and told me that he would be writing a series of articles that would later on be put together as a book. I certainly look forward to having another book by him.

Everyone who is now or is going into the business of photography should read this article. It fully describes all the different steps we take, from presentation to getting paid. In fact, even those who decide to establish a full time photography-based business will soon realize that the cycle applies to all their jobs as well.

It’s a good description of what we go through everyday.
