(RE) Starting off With 2024 - Leighton DaCosta, San Diego Photographer

Wow! Talk about do as I say and not as I do! I started this particular blog space as a spot to communicate with other photographers of all skill levels and to transfer some knowledge. BOY HAVE I NEGLECTED IT! So let me check in at least once a week here in 2024. That means I should have at least 52 posts here this coming year, right?

Well, most of it might be video based, but hey, why not? Feel free to shoot questions back to me as well.

Cheers to 2024

While many will say that it’s the hunter and not the arrow, technology DOES matter. The hunter with a rifle, and the hunter with a bow, have their own unique advantages. As the marketplace opens access to more and more technology to compensate for (lack of) technique and skill, more reliance will be placed on the non technical aspects of business.

If there is one book that has really helped me establish a sound business model of photography, it is the Best Business Practices for Photographers (BBPP). I had preordered the first edition and decided to get the third edition to update to 2018/2019. With 800+ pages of knowledge, this latest BBPP is a MUST have in any photographer’s library regardless of time in the industry.

Photographer's Market 2018 | Noel Rivera

The Photographer’s Market is an annual series of places that photographers can sell their work. This 41st edition was purchased for my upcoming Back to Business Basics workshop to update information from my 2010 edition.

I love the updates, and would recommend that it should be updated at least every 5-10 years for the casual seller and no later than once every 3 years for more active sellers.
