New Portrait Ideas: Noah Wolf
Posted by Mary

Finding new ways attract customers and make your portrait photography business stand out from the crowd can be a challenge. However, Minnesotan photographer Noah Wolf has found a way to do just that. At the start of 2010 Wolf launched his new Avatar: Social Media Portraits series. In exchange for a small fee, each customer receives a personalized photo session and a creative, flattering digital image for unlimited online use.

For $79 Wolf promises the following:
* A photographic experience that will both surprise you and put a smile on your face
* Creative consultation with me on the day of your session.
* A thrilling time in front of the camera :)
* Post-session portrait consultation to help choose your favorite image.
* One completely mastered, retouched and enhanced digital file that you leave with the same day! (Can you have more than one?  Of course!)
* No limitations to how you can use your portrait online.
* Finally, you get to upload an image that makes you look and feel great.

And…we’re back!
Posted by Mary

Well, the Photographer’s Market blog is back, but I’m actually here for the first time. Let me introduce myself: I’m Mary Bostic. I’ve been an editor for North Light Books and IMPACT Books for several years, and I’m excited to be the new editor of Photographer’s Market and Artist’s & Graphic Designer’s Market.

A lot has happened since we were last in touch through this blog. For starters, the 2010 Photographer’s Market is now available. Check it out for new tips, articles, interviews and, of course, listings. The 2011 edition is now well underway, and it promises to provide some great articles and a boatload of new listings, so stay tuned.

We’re also very excited to announce the upcoming launch of Artist’s Market Online. AMO is slated to go live at the end of the summer and will provide readers with everything AGDM has to offer and then some. You’ll be able to search listings, track your submissions, exchange ideas and advice with other photographers and much more. You can purchase a subscription to the website, or buy the 2011 edition of PM and you’ll get the best of both worlds with a free 1-year subscription to AMO.

I promise we won’t stay silent for so long again, so please sign up for our blog and newsletter (also to be resurrected soon). I’ll post a few times a week with updates about the book and website, news about upcoming contests and workshops, interesting photography-related tidbits, and the occasional random musing (mostly photography-related but sometimes otherwise).

Best,
Mary Burzlaff Bostic
Editor, Web and Print
