Kate Dardine, Fine Print Imaging
"Creating a Fine Art Identity"
How do you break away from the herd? Come find out the most important steps in creating an art identity that will put you – and your work – on the radar screen of those who can make a difference in your photography career. Having a consistent body of work is only the start. In this workshop you will learn what works – and what doesn’t – as you create an identity that is uniquely you. Come prepared to think, to learn and to grow!

Scott Trees
"The Business of Equine Photography"
Get your business on the right track with a session geared specifically towards the equine photographer. Come prepared to ask questions as they relate to your business. Topics to be covered: What you need to get started in business, Equipment, Paperwork, Work Flow, Licensing and Pricing, Income Sources, Marketing and Advertising, Insurance, Record Keeping, and much more!
Scott Trees has been a working equine and commercial professional photographer/videographer for 38 years. Recognized internationally for his talent, he will be the first to tell you that skill alone is not enough to succeed: “After all these years, I know succeeding in photography is a two fold venue. First is the talent side, and second is the business side. In many ways the business side is more important. Without that, a talented photographer will not last as an ongoing business.”
“Today’s digital photography world has changed a lot of things. One is that more and more people want to make a living from their images. Photography is a difficult and expensive business to maintain. With all my years of work for a variety of equine and commercial clients, I have had great success and failure. My goal for this class is to take the business lessons I have learned and share them with people wanting to take their hobby one step further and try to make it a business.”
