National Association of Portrait & Child Photographers

Join Julie Hamlin THIS WEDNESDAY, August 12th at 1PM EST for an insightful session on how photographers can transition from photographing families and portraits to working with commercial and brand clients.

Julie will share how to begin understanding brand identity, approach storytelling with strategic intention, and position yourself as a creative partner rather than simply an image creator.

But brand photography is about more than the creative work. This session will also cover the business foundations every commercial photographer should understand, including:
-The essentials of image licensing and why it matters
-Usage rights and how to protect both you and your clients
-Commercial terminology and verbiage
-Pricing brand work versus portrait photography
-Contracts, proposals, and other key documents
-Setting clear expectations from inquiry through final image delivery

Members, check your email or member community for the link to RSVP. Not a member yet? Comment MEMBER and we'll send you all of the details on how to join our community!
