Self-promotion and marketing are essential parts of a successful photography business, but getting noticed is just the first step. You also need to let people know what makes you and your work unique!
In this session, we’ll dive into the many ways you can make yourself known to potential clients–be that editors, businesses, curators–and also leave a clear sense of who you are and what you do.
