From YouTube:  Documentary photographer Colin Finlay has won the award for Picture of the Year no less than 5 times. Tirelessly documenting the human condition, from the melting icecaps, to sacred pilgrimages and genocide, Colin creates dignified images that contain a balance of force and compassion. Unique among photojournalist, Colin is able to self fund his personal documentary work with the proceeds of the commercial advertising jobs he regularly shoots for clients like Sansum, Harris Bank, and Ocean Pacific.

Commercial Photographer Greg Hren talks about the photography business.  Pretty cool video (I love that logo on his car).  Enjoy, and be sure to check out www.shuttermomuniversity.com for more photography business tips and coaching.

Here is a good news piece (and another really good example of how you can get your photography business on the local news!) featuring a senior photographer.  In the video, he is able to show off his work, talk about his style, and let people see him working.  The senior is also interviewed and says how she loves her photos (priceless testimonial).  Enjoy the video and remember to stop by www.shuttermomuniversity.com for more photography business tips and coaching!

I found this interesting article about Corporate-jet photographer Charles Tack and wanted to share it. He makes around $300,000 a year photographing corporate jets for sale. What a great niche to be in! Tack, 57, photographs the jets for brokers, who use his work in sales portfolios and for advertisements in trade journals. You can read the full article and see his work by clicking on the link below:
