Do you ever wonder what it means to have a Photo Agent? Watch this episode were Agent Frank Meo and Photographer Bruce Eisenberg discuss the necessity of an agent and tips on selecting the right one for you. Portfolio tips, misconceptions demystified of what an agent brings, and the bottom line of what it costs.
We also take a look at Frank’s book, Mind Prints, a book of visuals with…. no imagery. Yes, you read that correctly.
* Bonus: I give a LIVE in-studio demo creating soft dramatic lighting .
Many great tips were shared by Frank and Bruce in the show including:
Get Feedback: Speak to people and get lots of feedback on your “idea”
Seek help from Experts: Find people who are very smart and extremely helpful in areas where you lack expertise. This is a sign of strength not weakness!
Take your time and do it “right” – in the context of printing a book, framing a show, press release etc. Don’t hurry the process.
You must have blind passion from start to finish…
