Book Description

January 1, 2004
There’s much more to being a professional photographer than simply taking great pictures. Today’s self-employed photographers must have marketing savvy to spare. This guide from a widely known and respected industry insider provides that—and much more.

In Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers, freelance photographers learn what they must do to improve their skills after the pictures have been developed. Featuring sections such as “Focus Your Image,” “Sharpen Your Client Focus,” “Identify Your Market,” and the ever-important “Spot Trends,” here are dozens of surefire strategies for selling services, staying on top of the latest market trends, and winning enough high-paying work to survive and thrive in this very competitive business. For any photographer looking to make it big behind the lens, this indispensable reference shows how to get the right exposure every time.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not what I expected, November 16, 2008
By 
This review is from: Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers (Paperback)
I'm a portrait/wedding photographer who is just starting out on my own. I thought this book would be helpful to get more business. Unfortunately, this book is geared more towards someone who wants to sell their work to advertising agencies or other print media. I gleaned a few things from the book, but overall it was not what I needed. I think the title is a bit misleading.

5.0 out of 5 stars The best I've seen so far, May 8, 2005
By 
Kate (BC Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers (Paperback)
I first looked at this book in the library and then later put it on hold for the next available copy and it's going to take months before I get to read it again since there is such a long waiting list for the book. I think it is the best book I've seen so far on Marketing and Promotion for Photographers. Elysee Wiesberg what a gem you are for passing on this invaluable information! Good practical information and advice for the business side of photography. Glossy issue with great photos. I think I'm going to buy it since it will make a great reference book.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's like a personal consultation with an experienced Rep., April 15, 2009
This review is from: Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers (Paperback)
Reading this book is like having a several hour, sit down with Elyse and having someone take down every word for you.

For someone who doesn't have the opportunity to spend all day with a rep of the Elyse's caliber and hire someone to take notes, this book is the next best thing (or maybe even better).

If you want to grow your photo business you need this book first and you should also get the new book by Amanda Sosa Stone and Suzanne Sease, who worked with Elyse and still work as photo reps/negotiators.

If you think I'm exaggerating just check out their free webinar and judge for your self. Scroll down to Dec 16. http://sosastone.typepad.com/
