Paul Henning to give stock photography seminar in Chicago
On February 1st, stock photo industry veteran Paul Henning will give a seminar about the stock photo industry titled “Profiting from Stock Photography.” Henning, a former stock agency owner and a past president of the Picture Archive Council of America who currently runs his own consulting business, Stock Answers, will cover the ins and outs of the industry from the photographer’s perspective. “We’ll cover a lot of ground in two hours and send people home with a good idea of what the opportunities are today for photographers to exploit the booming market for stock photography” Henning said. Adbase, the Toronto mailing list service for photographers, illustrators, stock agencies, artist reps and TV production companies, will sponsor the event.
According to a press release, Henning’s seminar will cover the following topics:
- History of the stock picture industry
- Evolution and revolution: stock since the 1970’s
- Change as the one constant you can count on: changing stock image styles
- The most important word that a stock photographer must know
- Getting a head start on stock sales (the assignment shooters’ inherent advantage)
- Unglamorous stuff that every photographer must know (releases, keywording and stock picture price negotiations)
- Assignment outtakes: prime stock material or just sloppy seconds?
- Stock agencies? Online image marketers? Sell directly to picture buyers? The inside scoop on how to get your pictures sold!
Members of professional photographer trade associations ASMP and ASPP will receive discounted entry fees of $45.00. All other attendees will be charged $60.00.
