This is an excerpt from The Photo Hustle by Karen

This is an excerpt from The Photo Hustle by Karen Williams Buy your copy here: https://store.mangopublishinggroup.com/products/the-photo-hustle-1If you picked up this book, I’m betting you love photography enough to pursue a career in it, but you have no idea where to start. That’s where I come in. I want to be the resource and mentor I never had, so you don’t have to learn the hard way. I’ll be sharing the insider secrets of the photography industry that they don’t teach you in school. Because combining your passion for photography with a career can get a little messy. Being a great photographer is only half the battle. To thrive in this industry, you need to be a savvy entrepreneur, too. And that’s why I took it upon myself to fill in this much-needed gap. Instead of hoping things will change, it’s time we take control of our careers—and I’m here to help you do just that. This book will equip you with everything you need to know for a successful photography career. But you have to show up and put in the work.The photo hustle is real. These days, it’s not enough to have talent. You have to know the industry—and it’s a tough one to break into. Most photography schools and workshops don’t teach you how to run a successful business. Rather, they focus on the latest gear and techniques. They’ll teach you about posing, directing clients, composition, and lighting. They’ll show you all the pretty editing tricks and how to set up a shot.But actual business skills? That stuff rarely gets taught in the photography world. Marketing and branding? Not in most curricula. Sales and pricing strategies? I don’t think so. Client experience and retention? Doubtful. Financial planning and management? I’m not seeing it. Most photographers are expected to figure it out on their own, often through trial and error. But in reality, most photographers were never prepared for the “photo hustle” that exists on the flip side of their passion… I know I wasn’t.CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS

Pricing & Negotiating: Expanding Usage For A Non-P

Pricing & Negotiating: Expanding Usage For A Non-Profit Healthcare ClientBy @andrewsouders @wonderfulmachineEach month, we explain a recent cost estimate, contract, or purchase order in the form of a Pricing & Negotiating article. By redacting the names of the photographer and the client, we can share useful information that would otherwise be confidential. You can read more about our Image Licensing service on the Consulting Services page of our website.Concept: Additional licensing for previously shot conference images, including a new set of selects
Licensing: Publicity and Collateral use of the original 25 images for an additional 3 years, and Publicity and Collateral use of 7 additional images for 5 years
Photographer: Corporate and Portraiture photographer
Client: U.S. non-profit healthcare organization
Agency: Healthcare communications agency representing the clientA photographer partnered with me to help navigate an image licensing expansion for a recent conference shoot. The client, a non-profit healthcare organization working through a major healthcare communications agency, wanted to expand usage rights for a set of images and license additional selects from the previously photographed event.Client Request
The original license covered a batch of 25 images from the conference shoot for use on digital, social, conference, and internal platforms – terms that generally fall under what we define as Publicity and Collateral use. The client had previously agreed to $6,900 in creative/licensing fees for this usage, granted for a period of 2 years.As the client sought to extend the usage of these original images and license new selects from the shoot for a longer timeframe, we also identified an opportunity to improve clarity in the licensing terms. The original agreement did not include a definitions clause for the stated usage categories, and the terms digital, social, conference, and internal felt somewhat open to interpretation.CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS

Pricing & Negotiating: Restaurant and Retail Image

Pricing & Negotiating: Restaurant and Retail Images for a Design FirmBy @bryansheffield, @wonderfulmachineEach month, we pick one of our recent estimates to write about in a Pricing & Negotiating article. Redacting the names of the photographer and client allows us to share valuable and educational information that would otherwise be confidential.Concept: Portfolio content photography of an architecture and interior design firm’s recently completed restaurant & retail spaces within an airport
Licensing: Collateral and Publicity use of up to 15 images in perpetuity
Photographer: Architecture & Interiors specialist
Client: Large retail space architecture and interior design firmSummary
I recently helped one of our NYC photographers build an estimate for a good-sized architecture and interior design firm. The firm requested an estimate for photography to document 4 of their soon-to-be-finished spaces within a NYC area airport terminal. The final use of the photography would primarily be web collateral within the firm’s website, publicity efforts, as well as submissions to a few notable design award competitions. When we first began speaking with the client, they let us know that the completion date was about 3 weeks out. Moreover, they informed us that the photographs needed to be taken at night because the restaurants and shops would be open the following day.The client was very specific with their shot list needs. They would, however, rely on the photographer to accomplish this list in an artistic manner. They also let us know that they would need the final images within 2 days of the shoot date in order to meet their award submission dates. The client would arrange all special permissions for the photographer, crew, and equipment access to the spaces due to our need to work after the airport terminal had closed. We also knew that although our client designed these 4 spaces, they would all be owned and operated by other brands. With this in mind, we attempted to upsell and inquired whether the brands or proprietors might be interested in use of the final work. These potential clients, however, were not interested.CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS

My Outside farewell cover.Magazine owners are uniquely unqualified to run magazines. Generally they don’t have a creative bone in their body. Outside was on a very bad trajectory for many years but only a tech moneyed white dude could have the hubris to think enshittfying the content while selling out to advertisers would somehow make it more compelling. At least we can bun it all down and start again anew.

Several big photographers were named in a couple o

Several big photographers were named in a couple of excellent articles in the Columbia Journalism Review by Kristen Chick and Vox by A.J. Chavar.I’m sure there are many who never came forward because while the initial outrage caused the named to disappear and delete all their social media, they soon crawl back. Two people I’ve been following are David Alan Harvey and Patrick Witty.In the article by Kristen Chick, “Eleven women have described to CJR inappropriate behavior from David Alan Harvey over a span of thirteen years, ranging from suggestive comments to unwanted sexual advances to masturbating without their consent on video calls.” His agency, Magnum, was told about it and sat on the information for a decade before suspending him.So what is David up to now? He’s very active on Threads, where he has 57,000 followers. On Instagram, his account is private, but he has 441,000 followers. On his website, he’s selling prints, has five in-person workshops slated for 2025, and offers online mentorships.In the article by A.J. Chavar that talks about Patrick Witty: “I spoke to more than 20 people — some of them friends of mine in our shared industry — who said they experienced unwanted interactions with Witty, witnessed the inappropriate behavior, or were told details at the time the events occurred that corroborated the women’s stories. These stories included accounts of unwanted touching, kissing, and other advances at a variety of professional events during and prior to Witty’s employment at National Geographic.”So what is Patrick up to now? Semafor is reporting that he’s been hired by the White House. Prior to that he was very active on Instagram with 72,000 followers, Threads with 12,000 followers, and has a substack with 3,300 subscribers where he lists his bonafides as a photo editor at National Geographic, WIRED, TIME, and The New York Times.CONTINUED IN THE COMMENTS

A follower is wondering what ideas you have?Stock Houses, but a majority have most work in filing cabinets and on hard drives.Are there options for some of these important works to find homes, for example in local or regional Historical Societies, or is all that photography simply going to be wasted? It’s a question thousands of professional photographers are facing.

Zero f&cks to give.
