Welcome to Photo Business Forum This business of photography is changing. Constantly. Yet, fundamental business principles remain the same. Here in the Photo Business Forum, we aim to make sense of all this left-brain stuff. We'll leave the right-brain growth to other talented educators. But don't get it twisted, we're photographers first, and earn our living every day making images. We're not proselytizing from on high, these are street-tested and time-worn practices. Are there other resources out there to pose your questions, get answers, and engage in a dialog? Absoultely, and We'll discuss them, promote and refer people to them. We are constantly participating in ongoing dialogs elsewhere. Usually it's responding to questions posted there, some of which we will post here as well. So, is this a typical forum like that? No. It's where musings, commentary, news, and insights about the business of photography are posted, and then, by all means, feel free to post comments about the entry. We have a Flckr photo/forms/graphics pool - Photo Business Forum Flickr Group where you can start your own threads as well as post images/graphics/forms. Please make sure you look at the guidelines there too!

The 12 photographers gathered in the dining room of the Northbank Hotel-eight men, four women; some professionals, some enthusiasts-study him eagerly. We are on the Isle of Wight, a roughly diamond-shaped piece of land in the English Channel, for an educational weekend with Britain's pre-eminent documentary photographer. Occasionally Parr discusses technique and technology with individual members of the group, but mostly we learn by watching him. The lesson is simple: Photograph what you love.

Today I'm in San Francisco giving a lecture to the Society for Photographic Education. After presenting my pictures and the story of how I became a photographer, I'll likely be asked if I have any advice for young photographers. Instead of giving just my two cents, I thought it would be cool if I could also offer some advice from my fellow photographers at Magnum. I emailed my colleagues and received 35 different responses.
