Editorial Boot Camp

I’m giving a talk at the Photoshelter event this Sunday (Shoot The Day) that I’m calling Editorial Boot Camp (press release here). I ‘m calling it that because I’m gonna teach photographers how to kick down the photo editors door, put the CFO in a sleeper hold and throw concussion grenades into the editors office… metaphorically, of course.

If you’re attending I’ll see you there. If not I’ll tell you all about it when I get back.

“I’m gonna teach photographers how to kick down the photo editors door, put the CFO in a sleeper hold and throw concussion grenades into the editors office… metaphorically, of course.”

So we’re only supposed to do this stuff “metaphorically”? Who knew?

Actually, most CFOs seem to like the sleeper hold…

any chance you will post a video of your talk, so the unfortunate ones that can’t make it to NY can see it.

“kick down the photo editors door, put the CFO in a sleeper hold and throw concussion grenades into the editors office”

Finally, someone giving sage photo business advice using language I can understand.

Deep in my heart I always knew promo mailers and portfolio cases were for pansies, but I just wanted to fit in.

I’m looking forward to seeing you. As for kicking doors down, should I bring my combat boots?
