I would like to share this picture with you:

Sometimes the unbelievable happens; an unstaged unique photo moment occurs. No model, no make-up and no styling, just me and my camera riding by bike through Berlin.
For the other times... click on the photo.

Here's an Easy Way to Connect with Image Buyers

Photo Business Success Coach Beate Chelette blogs...

If you are struggling with getting enough new business you might be in violation of the rule of seven. This is a marketing rule and simply states the fact that your customer probably doesn’t know who you are unless you've "touched" them at least seven times. I have even heard that this rule is the rule of 12 now.

What’s a touch? An email, a phone call, a direct mail piece, a networking event an introduction etc.

You must have, what we call in marketing “top-of-mind-awareness” or you might not be the person your customer thinks of first when looking for a photography professional in your specialty... You need to do this for your business on a consistent basis. Be in front of your clients frequently and that is what increases your changes of getting the job...

During the CEPIC conference in Dublin I hung out with Ross MacRae, the Managing Director from BikiniLists.com. They are specialized in mailing lists for the creative industry for UK, Europe, USA and Australia. One of the great aspects of their system is that they are listing the type of accounts your potential clients have....

TODAY : David Taylor, Xposure Photo Agency Ltd

PAN: Describe the agency in a sentence...
DT: An established, but still growing celebrity Photo Agency changing with the times...

What were you doing before this?
Have always been an agent in some capacity. Spent over 20 years putting people together in the business world...

What’s new at Xposure?
Opened a new office in Los Angeles just over a year ago.....

Is video footage content expected by picture buyers?
Rarely, but of course it depends on the subject material. If I think about some of the pictures we have sold and if only there was a video to go with them...

Do you ring picture desks directly or rely on your images being spotted?
As we have been established for over ten years now, the relationships we have with our clients are excellent...

TODAY : Jason Hawkes, Aerial Photography

PAN: When did you start in the picture library business?
JH: Back in 1996, everything was on film and nobody even had email....

What were you doing before that?
I had been working as an aerial photographer since 1991....

What stock are you shooting this month?
I've shot images over London, and more graphic work particularly concentrating on roads....

How do you prepare for a day's aerial stock shoot?
As little as possible. The images I find work the best tend to be views you just happen to come across....

Do you use a fixed camera attached to the aircraft or are you shooting 'free'?
I have a range of mounts when shooting at night, some are fixed some are hand held....

How do you get more creative projects?

Promote to verified creative buyers with projects in your speciality.
In other words - send them something they need...


You need to connect with people who have a need for your type of images, food, fashion, lifestyle, corporates etc. etc.
Trouble is - things change so quickly in the creative industries that how do you keep track of who's doing what at agencies, magazines and book publishers without spending your whole working day on the phone?

With a BikiniPRO subscription it's quick & easy.
We do the research, so you don't have to.

PAN: How much photography in the magazine is commissioned?
RO: All of our covers, main features and big interviews are commissioned...

PAN: How would a picture library or photographer approach you for the first time to introduce their images?
RO: A photo library should be conscious of the type of images we run in Q...
