I was chatting with a retired RCMP and his wife, who recently got back from 7 days in Las Vegas. They recounted the shows, the casinos, the usual chaos that makes Las Vegas, well, Las Vegas. He pipes up and says: “Rob, you should go there. There were photographers everywhere, taking pictures that we buy […]
Why Do Photographers Fail?
Someone once told me…. “The reason you’ll never attain success in your photography business is the same reason you don’t put yourself on an endless self-educating schedule…it’s because you’re not hungry and passionate enough about success.” Most folks don’t go out and look for ways to do things better or different. Nor do they apply […]
How to get a free full page ad for your photography studio…
This is not the first time I scored free advertising in bigger media outlets in our city. I’ve acquired full page ads in magazines, newspapers and most recently a full page 8.5″ x11″ ad in a local real estate mag. This ads are typically very expensive, sometimes running into thousands of dollars for a full […]
Fast and easy light painting a la John Hartman

What is the greatest virtue for photographers?
Is it love? Discipline? Business ethics? Generosity? Determination? Sincerity? It’s none of the above. The greatest virtue is courage. If you don’t have courage you’ll never live out any of the other virtues. You’ll hold yourself back, because fear rules you. Courage sets you free.

I don’t know too many industries that have as many mentors and instructors as this industry (photography). It seems, for many that is, it goes like this….Get good, start teaching. Maybe, get good, make little to no money, start teaching to make up for it. I don’t want to sound cynical. It’s not my style. […]
