THE PHOTO REP -- Q&A: Marketing Ideas From Rep
Julian Richards – (
interview by Conor Risch)
PhotoDistrictNews recently spoke with a photographer’s rep, Julian Richards, about marketing a photographer to a client(s)—from establishing a voice, to creating custom PDFs, to landing assignments outside of a photographer's area of expertise.
