Going Pro: How to Make Money Through Your Photography

I’m usually the one doing the interviewing. But in Kelly Kingman‘s new book, I sat down with her to discuss how design firms hire photographers. Our chat covered tips for submitting photographer portfolios (a lot of my tips apply to designers, too), working with art directors, do’s and don’ts for how to get noticed and working with clients.

Kelly has a fun and casual interview style. The book is full of tips and plenty of guidance for new photographs. Reading it feels like you are chatting with a seasoned pro giving out hard-earned advice. And Fervor Creative‘s work is displayed throughout the book with our insights on working with photographers.

For a limited time, buy it from Digital Photography School for $29.99. If you have questions or want to chat with Kelly, finder her on Twitter. Thanks!
