‘7 Things Every Photographer Should Know’ takes a pragmatic look at self-empowerment for the practicing photographer.

Starting from the premise that every artist is also a small business, the presentation highlights the responsibilities and strategies that a photographer must address if they are to become visible and effective in a world teeming with imagery and image-makers.

Taking the format familiar from self-help books and websites, the talk identifies seven key issues to consider and strategies to address them. Each issue is illustrated with vintage film stills that crystallise the concept in a memorable way while adding a light-hearted feel to the presentation.

The ‘7 things’ discussed include self-motivation, self-promotion, finding an agent or dealer gallery, international networking and understanding the upside of rejection.
