Tidbit Tuesday: Photo Licensing Debunked
NayMarie September 3, 2013
“Images are the intellectual property of the creator, but for that property to generate income, photographers have to know their production costs, the value of their work, and the value of the usage their client is licensing.” Most photographers view photography as the art form it is. Those of us

Tidbit Tuesday: Don’t Insult Your Brand
NayMarie May 28, 2013
If I had $1 for every great artist I’ve seen with horrible branding tools, I could put down a sizable amount on a condo… Business cards formatted for hedge fudge executives – black or blue Times New Roman text centered on a matte white or cream 3.5×2″ card. Websites designed

Tidbit Tuesday: 25 Creative & Killer Shoes!
NayMarie May 14, 2013
It is no secret that I am a shoe whore (apparent in my second blog entry: http://naymarie.com/photography/shoe-therapy-i-the-higher-the-better), but I don’t get hot and steamy just for any ole heel. I’m attracted to unique construction. The architecture, the color coordination, the material texture… all bound into wearable artistry. This month’s post is

NayMarie April 30, 2013
As creatives, it is imperative that we take steps to increase our reach. Whether it’s new clients, venues, sponsors, or other like-minded professionals, we survive due to word of mouth so it’s best to have as many people speaking positively about us and our work as possible. A great way

Tidbit Tuesday: No Call/No Show
NayMarie March 13, 2012
The epitome of unprofessional is not showing up the day of a job, paid or unpaid. I have heard tons of tales and even experienced this myself in this industry by models, makeup artists, and hair stylists alike. There is nothing worse than having a large staff arrive to realize

Tidbit Tuesday: The Craigslist Scam
NayMarie March 6, 2012
I’ve heard endless stories from my models, especially the ones that are natively from overseas, about predator photographers. Whenever I’m browsing Craigslist (CL) for the few and far between quality gigs, I make it my duty to flag the predator posts and have started a photographic campaign against them. They’re

NayMarie March 1, 2012
Let’s say you’re an assistant or you’re learning from your mentor, or YOU are the mentor providing an example, would you allow your boss, mentor, or protege to claim credit for a photo you’ve taken? Tricky question? Ok let’s expand the examples. – An assistant, in my opinion, should never

The triangle of success consists of quality, persistence, and contacts. All 3 are required for a fruitful business.

Tidbit Tuesday: Don’t Be That Guy
NayMarie December 27, 2011
Please, whatever you do, don’t be that person (male or female). You know the one. Always in the forums, groups, and chat boards with the pompous demeanor. They either actually have valuable experience but come across as an a-hole when giving information and critiques or, even worse and more common,
