Updated version, NOW AVAILABLE on Amazon or from the author (email me)Reader Review - Susanne T.
"An Essential Guide to the Business of Photography" is EXACTLY the book I needed. It includes detailed-but-readable information on getting a photography business started, from starting up the business, knowing legal aspects of forming the business, purchasing equipment necessities, developing resumes and portfolios, working with clients, doing marketing, developing a website and communications place, managing finances, pricing, doing taxes, licensing, working in the fine art market, engaging in professional organizations, etc., etc.! Plus, each chapter has a list of projects...kind of a "now that you've read this, here are steps/projects to implement what you've just read." Judith's own experiences educationally, as a professional photographer, as an instructor, as a college professor, and in running both her own fine art and commercial photography businesses are clearly evident. AND she is an excellent communicator and teacher. I highly recommend this book!
