Freelance photography and self promotion
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under freelance
If you’re looking to enter the world of freelance photography or are already in that realm this post by art buyer Heather Morton is for you.
We work in a world of paradoxes and conundrums: Send an email blast vs. no one reads emails. Send a nice promo card vs. it will get chucked. Get face time with an AD or AB or PE vs. no one has any time to meet with you.
Every interaction that you and your work have with an agency is a potential to sell or unsell the experience of working with you, don’t let that go to waste.

The photojournalism resume
Posted by Tim Gruber | Filed under promo
I’ve unofficially labeled my spring one of self promotion. My mom, like any good mother keeps reminding me that I need a job career.
I’m in the process of updating my resume. See my resume here on my about page. I briefly entertained the idea of redesigning it, but lack the creative drive right now to make something fresh of it.
Some resume design inspiration
You might find it useful when it comes time to freshen up your resume for that new job prospect or internship.
