Personal Projects – Why, How… And how to make Money by doing them.
You got into photography because you liked it. Enjoyed the challenge of creating new images… Then you turned it into a business and photography wasn’t quite as much fun anymore. Marketing, sales, building websites, printing, framing, retouching started to suck the joy right out of your life.
Personal Projects can get you juiced again and help your business too! Bob will show you how he used these ideas to make photography fun again and earn money while you are at it.
This is a program of creative ideas and techniques along with simple business marketing. They go hand in hand to help put your business back on track to the joy you first felt before you turned photography into a business
Bob Coates 928-284-0200 bob@bcphotography.com
Bob Coates started taking photographs with an SLR borrowed from a friend for a vacation back in 1983. After successfully managing other peoples businesses for 14 years while photographing on the side, Bob decided to follow the quote "Do what you love and you will become a success. In March of 1994 he left the restaurant biz and took the leap to become a professional photographer. Bob Says. “At the time I thought I knew something about photography.... Now that I've studied hard for the last 20 plus years I realize how much more there is to learn. “In this business the variety never ceases to amaze me. One day shooting jewelry in the studio, the next day getting images for a brochure and yet another standing in the middle of the desert waiting for the light to get "just so." The changes in software and digital imaging possibilities continue to inspire me.” Bob has been sharing education programs with photographers from Hawaii to the Caribbean for over 20 years. A PPA Approved juror, Bob has embraced PPA's competition system as a vehicle for growing skills and pushing to new levels of creativity.
