Stop Worrying About Your Business Cards

In case you’re still more worried about your business cards and your website than your photography, Leila Courey, Art Buyer at Leo Burnett will set you straight:

I don’t mind if photographers want to bling out their promos for extra attention as long as the quality of the work goes along with it. What I don’t dig, is photographers spending what looks like a ton of money on business cards, expensive promos or portfolios meanwhile they really need to spend more time crafting their work.

When an artist is more established, or has been off the radar for a while, I can understand wanting to brand/re brand themselves to let it be known that they’re still available for assignment but even still, this won’t sway me. It’s all about the work.

Now that we’re clear on that, get out from behind the computer and go shoot something. [click the ‘continue reading’ link below]—

    Can I simply say what a relief to uncover somebody that really understands what
    they are talking about on the internet. You certainly understand how
    to bring a problem to light and make it important.
    More and more people must read this and understand this side of your story.
    I can’t believe you’re not more popular because you most certainly have the gift.

To the left of the canvas, yellow and black text reads: "The Chase Jarvis Live Show," with the words stacked vertically in a bold, modern font.
