It’s not always about events around here. A couple weeks ago I released a new eBook specific to the management work I do for three photographers: David duChemin, Dave Delnea, and Kevin Clark, it’s called: Growing the VisionMonger - 10 Things a Manager Can Teach You About Running & Growing Your Business. It’s published by Craft & Vision and it is written in such a way that any creative professional can benefit from implementing the action points.

Today, I’m a guest blogger on David duChemin’s blog PixelatedImage.com and I tell a little secret about his success (musings of a manager). Check it out.

Here’s a snipet from the introduction:

The days of the lone ranger are gone. The stereotypical life of a “professional” photographer is morphing from one of independence to one of dependence. Making a living from your passion can be hard work, and going it alone is tough, but your craft shouldn’t suffer just because you’re not a superhero. It’s time to put away the overblown expectation that you can do it all. You need help. Everyone does. Just let that soak in.

Turning your vision, of living off your passion, into reality can be a daunting task. Managing the demands of clients, projects, logistics, administration, and marketing is a ton of work and you haven’t even picked up a camera. The truth is that a vocational photographer is undeniably more successful when tapping into the creativity, relationships, and resources around them. The goal of this eBook is to help you to find simple, inexpensive ways to make your life and work as a photographer easier, and hopefully more lucrative as a result.
