Twitter truly is an amazing little social media resource. I have “met” so many great characters on there, people who can make me laugh, make me think, make me sad, make me happy, all in the space of 140 characters.
A few weeks ago I exchanged a little banter with Cris Mitchell, founder and owner of a wonderful online resource for professional photographers, ProPhotoResource. I hadn’t had the time to really check out the site, but as soon as I did I was drawn into the content … the contributors are all working pro photographers, all with a variety of experiences, all sharing some snippets of knowledge gained through the trial of fire that is being a professional photographer. Gripping stuff.
Imagine my surprise and thrill when I was asked to become a regular contributor !! Cris had gone off and taken a look at my work and liked what he saw. I immediately said yes then thought “what on earth am I going to write about” LOL
So, I took a look at what I do, what I specialise in, I guess. As many of my clients know, I specialise in winter weddings, with December being my second busiest month of the year. Of course it made perfect sense to write about my experiences and show a few photos which illustrated my points.
And so, without further ado, my article has been published … you have to register with the site (its free) in order to get access to the member area and newsletters, but honestly it is so worth it. Click on the link I provided and go for it.
Oh, comments on my article are most welcome here … ideas for future articles are equally welcome.
Wow, twitter truly is an amazing resource. Stunning article, really enjoyed reading it.
Future articles, could you include one about client meetings?
Nicely done Gill, very informative article.
As for future articles, I’d like to read your thoughts on getting the reactions you manage to capture from your clients.
