Tidbit Tuesday: Why I Am NOT A Shoot & Burn Photographer

Tidbit Tuesday: Don’t Insult Your Brand
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: The Craigslist Scam
I’ve heard endless stories from my models, especially the ones that are natively from overseas, about predator photographers.
