Photographers Roundtable
To paraphrase Oscar Wilde....... “When bankers get together, they talk about art. When artists get together, they talk about money."
So… let's talk about money! And contracts (remember those?) And the challenges of doing photographic work — finding business and figuring out how to charge for it.
All experience levels welcome — needed even! Come with the questions; bring the details, feel free to bring vintage or contemporary samples of contracts, invoices or any paperwork that you’d like to refer to or share. What was better back in the day? What's better now? Let's figure it all out once and for all! (OK, just kidding!)
The Photographers Roundtable will be moderated by reviewer MJ Sharp. This event is free and open to the public but please register as space is limited.
