Deciding to turn an amateur photography passion and hobby into a
successful photography business can be scary, disappointing and
needlessly expensive. Shooting photography because of a love for
photography is one thing. Shooting photography because you have bills
to pay is something else entirely. Knowing the difference is one of the
goals of a recently published ebook offering strategy tips, “Freeze, I
Have A Camera And I’m Not Afraid To Use It! The ebook offers valuable
information to photographers in areas of the photography business that
needs to be fully researched; where to find the information to be
researched; and even offers a powerful, yet simple to use, search tool
– all for free.
Long Beach, CA (PRWEB)
September 12, 2006 -- “This is the book that I wish I had when I first
decided to become a ‘professional’ photographer,” say Kalem Aquil,
author of the new ebook, “Freeze, I Have A Camera And I’m Not Afraid To
Use It!” Aquil has put his ‘lessons learned’ in a light-hearted,
information-digestible, and informative ebook for photographers. “The
book is targeted to amateur photographers, but the information and
resources are very valuable to experienced photographers, also,” added
Aquil. The ebook offers strategy tips to assist photographers identify
photography markets, photography niches and overviews of the various
segments of the photography industry.
The ebook advises photographers not to discuss the type of equipment
that they use with their customers. As examples, the ebook compares
photographers businesses to restaurants and car mechanics. The
successful businesses, whether they’re restaurants or car repair shops,
don’t tell their customers what equipment they use to provide their
professional services. It suggests that the photographers that are
spending great sums of money for the ‘right’ equipment are not focusing
on the critical areas needed for success.
Making use of technology is another area that is covered in the ebook.
Having a photography website is a must for any photographer seeking to
increase awareness of their photography work and/or their photography
business. In addition to providing resources for free photography
websites, the ebook encourages photographers to make use of free
services, such as websites, to gain valuable ‘real world’ experience.
Also included in the ebook are samples of brilliant photography that
the author, Aquil, advises not to spend valuable time shooting. “One of
the things that we photographers have trouble finding out and
understanding is that our customers don’t buy photography from us that
‘we photographers’ like. They buy photography that they need!”
Understanding that principle, advises Aquil, “helps knowledgeable
photographers to focus their precious time shooting photos that have
real value.” The ebook offers tips on researching markets and niches;
on effective steps to take to successfully market your photography work
and/or photography business; tips on understanding marketing, pricing
and operating online photo galleries.
A standout of the ebook are the sections on stock photography.
Understanding and benefiting from the dramatically changing stock
photography industry places photographers head and shoulders above
ninety percent of their competition. For some, the significant changes
are threatening. For others, the changes are profitable and welcomed.
The ebook provides a very good overview of the history of the stock
photography market and the current and constantly changing dynamics of
this side of photography. According to the ebook, technology is one of
the factors contributing to the changing photography markets. Leveling
of the playing field and what to look for is explained in
understandable ways.
“When I first entered the world of the photography business, I tried to
‘do it all.’ I wanted to show that I could perform in any photography
niche,” says author Aquil. “Photographers that specialize are the
successful photographers these days. Knowing your ‘photographic
strengths’ is critical to success and this ebook shows photographers
how to find their strengths in understandable terms – and you can’t
beat the price,” offers Aquil. Spending a lot of money on equipment and
technology doesn’t translate to success in the photography business.
That’s one of the lessons that stick with you after reading the ebook.
Another standout component of the free photography ebook is the
stunning images of children. Author Aquil is a stock photographer with
a focus on children. Included in this informative publication are
colorful images of children staring at the reader that are difficult to
not keep returning the stare. The ebook is valuable enough just based
on the entertaining images of the children.
