Notă biografică
Todd Bigelow is an award-winning freelance photographer of nearly 30 years. He has photographed for many of the world’s best publications, non-profits and corporations; is founder of the Business of Photography Workshop available nationwide; and is a contributing photographer to Contact Press Images. He received the 2019 Clifton Edom Award from the National Press Photographers Association.
Recenzii
Todd has not only proven himself to be a talented photojournalist, but his teachings in the areas of the business of photography are exceptional.
Todd was on our faculty at NPPA's Northern Short Course for several years and he presented multiple business of photography sessions to attendees of our three-day photojournalism conference. The reviews from those in attendance were overwhelmingly positive, with one person telling me that what he learned in one three-hour session taught by Todd was worth the tuition price for the entire workshop!
I'd highly recommend his book to anyone interested in learning about the business of photography.

The most important element in a relationship between a photo editor and photographer is trust. When a photo editor picks up the phone and assigns a photographer, they have already placed their faith in the photographer's ability to come home with the goods. There has yet to be an assignment in the close to twenty years of my relationship with Todd Bigelow where he didn't come home with the goods. He is fully aware of what his client needs. Not only does he deliver but he will give the client something extra. There have been many photographs that Todd has taken on his own during an assignment that were far superior to those he was instructed to shoot.

In my opinion, Todd’s knowledge of the freelance world and willingness to share are a great resource for new photographers. I believe his hands-on industry experience and practical advice could be a huge help to anyone considering a career in freelance photography.

After spending more than 20 years as a staff photographer for the Los Angeles Times, I moved to the east coast and embarked on a career as a freelancer. I was immediately lost and overwhelmed by running my own business. Todd’s lessons about how to effectively run my business – from meeting and maintaining clients to billing to image archiving – have proved invaluable. His insights and advice set me on a path to success in the business part of photography that up to that point I’d had zero exposure to as a staffer. He got me up to speed in no time.

The business of photography is evolving so much these days, even the best of accumulated knowledge can become obsolete in 1/250 of second. The schools of photography do their job molding minds and honing styles but churn-out today’s students bereft of the skill set necessary to navigate the freelance world. This book is nothing less than tactical gear.
