BOOKS FOR YOU – NO CHARGE
Recently I decided to clean up my hard drives and simplify the way I am storing files. I discovered some cool gems that I had almost forgotten about.
Here are three publications I have produced over the years. Grab them if you would like a copy.
LIGHTING BOOK ONE
Produced from a set of blog posts from about the time of my CreativeLive shows. Not new, but the information contained IS indeed rock solid.
LIGHTING BOOK ONE (Portrait Lighting)
PORTRAIT PHOTOGRAPHY WITH SIMPLE GEAR COURSE BOOK
Written for the UDEMY class of the same name (Free on UDEMY) it covers a wide spectrum of ideas and techniques for shooting high quality portraits with simple and inexpensive gear.

A SYSTEM FOR FINDING CLIENTS
If you are looking for a system for finding clients in your area, here is one for you. I could go into a lot of marketing platitudes and stuff, but all I will say is “this works”. Period. No matter if you are in a big city or in the country, it works. Not a secret, nor is it a trick. It is a system, tried and true, for finding and keeping, commercial clients. And it involves work.
I hope you enjoy them. If you do, drop me a line.
I am working on new ones for this year. Should be fun.

The “Business” of Being a Creative
