PMA offers Pro Photographer Business Boot Camp

Photographers can attend the seminar by purchasing an All Conference Connection Pass for $299 member/$399 nonmember, which includes choice of sessions from five conferences plus a Full Trade Show Badge, or individual sessions can be purchased for $49 member/$79 nonmember. The boot camp targets photographers with less than two years of professional experience, particularly those specializing in portraits, weddings, sports, and events. Sessions include “Business Practices 101: How to Stay Out of Trouble”; “Posing and Lighting Basics”; “Photographer’s Legal Guide”; “How I Changed My Website to Grow My Photography Business”; and “Developing New Product Lines.” Highlighting the day’s schedule is a working luncheon about marketing, presented by Tony Blei, Tony Blei Photography, Mesa, Ariz., and a two-hour tabletop reception, featuring service providers and photofinishing labs. The daylong event adjoins the PMA 2010 International Convention and Trade Show, Feb. 21-23, 2010, at the Anaheim Convention Center, Southern California, for which the All Conference Connection Pass provides access to sessions, social events, and the trade show floor.
