ASMP Seminars

For 60 years, ASMP has been at the forefront of gathering and disseminating information on professional business practices in photography, and this tradition continues with our 2008/09 seminar season.

Get Your DAM Stuff Together 2

Are you overwhelmed by all your digital images? Are you struggling with image retrieval? And, what about archiving? Peter Krogh presents a fresh update of his popular Digital Asset Management program, Get your DAM Stuff Together 2. Peter helps you understand how the various parts of your digital photography collection fit together in a usable workflow.

I Stink at Negotiating

Do you panic when you have to discuss money with a client? Do you talk too fast, ramble or sound indignant? Do you give in too fast to a lower price or broad licensing terms? Blake Discher will teach you the steps to become a top negotiator. This critical skill can change your business in the most profound way -- more and better work! Blake will walk you through real world scenarios, show you how to listen and talk to prospects turning them into loyal clients.

Is Your Web Site Making You Money?

Do you know what good search engine results mean for your business? How do you direct clients to your site? Is your web site getting buyers to stop and take notice? And, what do you do when the phone actually rings?

Taking Control of Your Career

Are you satisfied with the work you're creating? Do your clients appreciate what you bring to the table? Are you struggling with how to steer your business in the direction you want? Judy Herrmann of Herrmann+Starke will share real-world tactics for developing and implementing a plan that will take your career where you want it to go.

The Business of Fine Art Photography

Thomas Werner continues to present this highly acclaimed seminar on entering the fine art market. He explains how you reach the market, present your work, and create marketing materials and a web site. He also explores the process of building a relationship with a gallery, and what to expect if you do get an exhibition. (Note: This is an all-day seminar.)

What Do I Charge?

Are your clients asking for more and paying less? Are your costs increasing? Are you struggling with how to determine your fees? And, what about talking to clients about price? Susan Carr presents a candid discussion on licensing and pricing your work. Take the mystery out of determining your fees and setting licensing terms. Get real-world strategies for pricing in this tough business climate. Learn how to sell your prices with confidence.
