Freelance photography and self promotion

May 15, 2008 |  by Tim Gruber  |  freelance  | 

If you’re looking to enter the world of freelance photography or are already in that realm this post by art buyer Heather Morton is for you.

We work in a world of paradoxes and conundrums: Send an email blast vs. no one reads emails. Send a nice promo card vs. it will get chucked. Get face time with an AD or AB or PE vs. no one has any time to meet with you.

Every interaction that you and your work have with an agency is a potential to sell or unsell the experience of working with you, don’t let that go to waste.
