Tip of the Week: Networking
As photographers, we focus on the photography side, but sometimes forget the other side of developing new relationships. Here are a few ideas:
- Develope your own Network such as Twitter or Facebook.
- Be active in whatever networks you are involved in.
- Get a mentor, as you will learn from their experience.
- Follow up with the people you meet.
These are just a few ideas to start building your network. For more ideas, and a indepth discussion of social networking, join us for our “Mastering Social Networking” workshop with David Saffir on March 10th for part 1 and March 17th for part 2. Cost is $109 for both sessions.

This is a five-day workshop covering absolutely everything you need to know about the business of child photography, including the business plan, marketing, branding, studio lighting, practice sessions, digital workflow, basic and advanced retouching and designing with Photoshop.
The best part is that you can customize this workshop to learn just what you want. You can sign up for each day individually and only pay for the days you attend.

Tip of the Week: Macro Mode
Remember as a kid discovering the whole new world beneath your feet while playing on the grass? When you got very close to the ground, you could see an entire community of creatures that you never knew existed.
Well, you don’t always need a fancy DSLR to get great Macro shots. These days, you might not want to lie on your belly in the backyard, but if you activate the close up mode on your point and shoot or basic DSLR digital camera and begin to explore your world in finer detail, you’ll be rewarded with fresh new images unlike anything you’ve ever shot before.
Even the simplest object takes on new fascination in Macro Mode. And the best part is that it’s so easy to do with digital cameras.
If you want to learn more about Macro and Cloe up photography, join Ron Brewer on Saturday, February 27th from 9am to 4pm as he teaches everything Macro and Close-up.
