How has digital photog changed your art/business
I am curious about how digital photography has changed things around your
studio. And the perceptions I'm looking for are not limited to those who have changed over to digital, Those who stay with film can probably feel how their clients perceive the product changing, or not. Work flow, are you working longer on each order? Preparing client presentations presale, post sale? Are you shooting a lot more per client/assignment? Do clients expect more now? Are sales patterns changing, are you selling more prints, (single or several pose packages) or selling more variety/sets (one each of a bunch of images) Has client complaints or concerns changed? |

How has digital photog changed your art/business
In article oyUBb.361182$ao4.1221127@attbi_s51,
zeitgeist says... I am curious about how digital photography has changed things around your studio. The computers get bigger, and data backup is a major concern. Work flow, are you working longer on each order? Yes and no. I used to do some custom printing myself, now it is digital output on a Fuji Frontier. Much more accurate, much more possibilities in image processing, many other very nice things - and bright light plus food at the desk in comparison to stinky darkrooms where food would be a major hazard. Preparing client presentations presale, post sale? Much easier, much more impressive for them. Are you shooting a lot more per client/assignment? No. I treat my DSLR just the way I would treat a film body. The limit is rather flash cycle times than fps on the camera. Do clients expect more now? Not necessarily, but the clientele is also changing. It gets higher end for me much more easily now. Some jobs I could have never done with the delays of analog photography, they are exclusive to digital. Are sales patterns changing, Yes. are you selling more prints, I am rarely selling prints, usually I sell rights of use. Has client complaints or concerns changed? Diminished. -- Michael Quack http://www.photoquack.de/glamour/1.htm http://www.photoquack.de/fashion/1.htm |
