2009 has been a good year.

Not only have I grown as photographer - There has also been more commercial interest in my work and even an international assignment.

Following several gifted artist of various disciplines I continue to develop myself and my technique. I have also been lucky enough to meet several gifted photographers who have provided valuable lessons.

Please enjoy a summary of my published work for 2009.

Summary: The professionals agree; being a photographer will require a lot of work before you can make a living of your efforts. Creating your own signature style will help you on the way. Strategically taking on some work for free can help you get spotted, although this is more true for Fashion and Art than for Journalistic photography. One should decide for oneself if joining a union or getting and agent helps to reach your goals. Also in contacting potential clients consider the fit between your work and their target audience. How much you can ask for your services remains vague. It depends on how well known you are, the assignment and the uniqueness of your photos.

Thank you everyone for the inspiring input and a very nice evening. (Please let me know your thoughts on my free press concept and the pictures). ]]> http://www.arstad.nl/?feed=rss2&p=54 http://www.arstad.nl/?p=53 http://www.arstad.nl/?p=53#comments Thu, 26 Nov 2009 05:57:09 +0000 info All messages http://www.arstad.nl/?p=53 Dolly Rogers were the first to bring PowerPoint Karaoke to Amsterdam.
