Real Business, Real Estimates, Real Life: Surviving and Thriving as a Working Professional
REGISTER NOW
Join John Harrington, author of the best-selling ‘Best Business Practices for Photographers’, for an insightful and solutions-oriented presentation on how to generate more revenue from the assignments, through pricing examples and discussion, negotiation strategies, and demystifying licensing of your work.

Unlock the mysteries surrounding how to price your work, and learn ways to negotiate from a position of strength. When it comes to licensing, how do you write a license that gives the client the permissions they paid for, without leaving loopholes you could drive a truck through?

Through a series of actual negotiated assignments, we will break down the negotiation and explain how to plan for the questions you’ll get, and to know the best ways to answer them. When it comes to pricing, there seems to be a world of secrecy around rates. We will discuss solutions for stock and assignment pricing, as well as discuss tools for you to establish your own. When it comes to licensing, we’ll discuss and explain the standardized licensing solution that is the Picture Universal Licensing System (or PLUS), and how to write a license, where to put the licensing language, and what the best format will be.Throughout the program, all of these elements will be integrated into each assignment discussed.

Bio:
For over two decades, John has covered the world of politics, traveled internationally, and negotiated contracts and licensing along the way. John grew up in the Bay Area before moving to Washington DC in the mid-80’s. A 2007 recipient of the United Nations’ Leadership Award in the field of photography, Harrington’s work has appeared in Time, Newsweek and Rolling Stone, and his commercial clients have included Coca-Cola, SiriusXM Satellite Radio, Lockheed Martin, and the National Geographic Society.

John has produced three commissioned books for the Smithsonian and the second edition of his book Best Business Practices for Photographers, remains a best-seller. In the Fall of 2010, a retrospective of the first 20 years in the profession – Photographs from the Edge of Reality, revisited highlights of his career. John has lectured across the United States to events for the American Society of Media Photographers, Advertising Photographers of America, Professional Photographers of America, and the National Press Photographers Association. John concluded serving his second term as the President of the White House News Photographers Association in May of 2011.

DC Nonprofit Photography & Biz Skills Workshop

romarosie123 — Wed, 17 Apr 2013 16:53:59 +0000

Project DC 2013

Photography as a Force of Change

in collaboration with

Location: Washington, DC
Dates: September, 25 – 29, 2013
Cost: $1650 (Get 10% off if you are a student, current or former military or belong to a due paying professional organization!)
Please contact our office for itinerary and workshop information.

Momenta provides each student with a detailed questionnaire. We use this to match each student’s interest with a nonprofit in Washington, DC
Each student will get their own nonprofit to work with, based on your answers to the questionnaire and your interests in nonprofit story topics
Momenta will do all the pre-workshop logistics for nonprofit assignments.
Momenta presents an intensive instruction on Photo Mechanic and photo asset archiving & workflow
You receive daily personal portfolio reviews with lead instructor and Momenta staff
Nightly slideshows, lectures and group critiques
Daily mentoring and story development editing one-on-one with an instructor for at least one hour a day
Voluntary multimedia instruction for interested attendees
Lectures on narrative storytelling, elements of a photo story and history of documentary photography
Lectures on funding a personal project, business skills and working with nonprofits for profit
Final slideshow and party hosted by Momenta for all students, nonprofit staff, general public and members of the photographic community

Momenta has been based in the Washington, DC area since our company’s founding and we are so happy to be doing another Project workshop in our backyard. If you have never joined Momenta for a photography or multimedia workshop, this will be a wonderful one to attend!

During your workshop with us, you will not only learn to work directly with a nonprofit on a relevant photo story but you will also receive lectures on business models for making nonprofit photography work for you, how to market your portfolio for nonprofit clients as well as financing a personal project through grant writing and public fund raising.

We choose our nonprofits based on need and we choose to work with small, local, underfunded projects that have a serious necessity for photography. These groups usually have very small budgets and have never had access to a photographer before. They give our students access and in turn the students learn how to work with a nonprofit to get quality imagery for a portfolio piece.

Momenta will offer to connect photographers with nonprofit organizations we have worked with in the past. However, we also encourage more advanced photographers to find their own photo story or charity of their choice. If you’ve never done this before but would like to try, don’t worry! Our team of instructors and staff will guide you every step of the way if you choose to venture down this road.

Every day of the workshop, Momenta staff and instructors with work with you to develop a photo story that is close to your personal vision. We do this through daily editing one-on-one with you and an instructor for about one hour each evening.

A great addition to our curriculum in 2013 is the collaboration of Momenta and Leica during our series of Project workshops. All photographers on this workshop will have the opportunity to borrow and use digital Leica M9s and lenses for use in their photo stories. We will have a special lecture during orientation about the use of Leicas and their great history in documentary photography.

Students are also encouraged to record audio for multimedia presentations and their portfolio. Momenta will have audio gear on hand to borrow. Multimedia instruction and editing will also be available for interested attendees.

On the final day of the workshop, Momenta will host a student slide show presentation for all the organizations who participated in the workshop as well as neighborhood residents, local photographers and journalists and the workshop attendees. The slideshow is truly a moving and emotional experience for everyone involved. It creates a wonderful atmosphere of camaraderie and celebration to conclude our learning experience together!

We hope you can join us for this very special workshop experience in one of America’s most vibrant and exciting cities!

Workshop fees include: one-on-one editing with instructors on a daily basis, personal portfolio reviews, a student handbook, all handouts and workshop materials, daily slideshows and lectures, software and equipment training, an opening night dinner, our final celebration and slideshow party provided by Momenta for the public at our headquarters.

Workshop fees do not include: meals not listed, transportation, hotel accommodations and personal amenities. Momenta does offer suggestions for housing and transportation deals in DC when you register for the program.

Please contact our staff for a trip itinerary and travel arrangement questions.
