Art vs. Commerce
Doug Menuez
March 7 - March 13, 2010
Photographers often find it difficult to reconcile the desire to follow one’s passion with the need for financial security. Doug Menuez figured out how to get paid for shooting exactly what he loves to shoot, and he shares the logical steps toward finding your own answers, based on his real-life experience.
During this intense but fulfilling week, Doug guides participants on their individual journeys with extensive portfolio reviews and personal assignments. Digging deep to rediscover what we truly love in photography and who we are as photographers, we learn ways to embrace risk and counterintuitive thinking, while covering the fundamental business and marketing practices photographers must master to reach full potential both creatively and financially. Lectures, demonstrations, field sessions, and group critiques build a community approach to encouraging personal discovery and a plan to move forward.
Participants return home with a newly defined vision of themselves and their work, and with the tools to create the life in photography they have always wanted to lead.
