Going Digital in Santa Fe

As our careers progress, we all suffer from interludes of creative stagnation. We need boosts of inspiration and fresh perspectives to stimulate our creativity. My main goal for this workshop is to inspire you and push you ahead in your career. I won't be happy unless you're invigorated with fresh professional goals. I thoroughly expect that you'll receive total information overload. 

My hope is to create with you changes in your creative processes, enhance your business skills on multiple fronts, and immerse you in technologies which will no doubt influence your future. There will be daily assignments and critiques tailored to your needs .

It would be easy for you to come to Santa Fe and make nice images in a weeks time but I really want you to leave with much more. I'd like you to to come away with a body of work that you can truly use in the future.

A year ago I made the decision that changed my photography business in an extremely positive manner. I decided to attend a business and photography workshop by Seth Resnick at the Santa Fe Workshops. I understand he is offering it again and I strongly recommend that you attend.

Believe me, I know that it is not an easy decision to make. The workshop will cost you money and time. I remember signing up for the workshop and then canceling, foregoing my deposit. Fortunately for me I met a photographer who knew Seth and talked me into making the trip to Santa Fe. He stressed the impact it would have on my career. I've never regret the decision.

I am a successful photographer with over 25 years in the business and even though I've been an ASMP member for 20 years I was surprised at how much more I needed to learn about the business side of photography. Seth will not only help you to understand contracts, forms, business costs, copyright laws and insurance needs but also very important tactical negotiation techniques and practical marketing methods. His hands-on approach to negotiating and communicating with editors, art directors and account executives are simple and effective. Since my return from the workshop I have not had a single client reject my request for a signed contract (my contract!) prior to an assignment. I honestly am a much better and informed negotiator and my confidence level is high.

In addition to the business skills and shooting techniques that you will immerse yourself in (oh yes, you will be photographing too), Seth will venture into the digital age and how he has learned to use the web to great advantage. You will simply be awed by what Seth knows about the web and how much of it he shares with his students.

As photographers you owe it to yourself to raise your business standards, which in the end helps raise it for the entire industry. What you learn you will want to pass along. Finally, you are going to enjoy working with Seth, he's approachable and loves to have a good time, and if you haven't done so already, you will fall in love with Santa Fe. Really, you can only win by attending.

Yours sincerely,

Seth's warm, open and fun nature create a learning environment that is incredibly stimulating and inspirational. He showed me that anything is possible and what it takes to move my career to the next level.

In his class, you will prepare to handle many situations. Seth opened my eyes to different, simple lighting techniques that I'd never considered.  He took us to great locations and shared ways of approaching shooting that have proved very useful since his class.

Seth, referred to by many highly accomplished photographers as "the best business man I know" generously shares strategies and techniques that when implemented, will help you grow your business in the most professional way possible.

Particularly helpful to me was role playing in which Seth presented typical tricky situations I face on a regular basis. This gave me information and skills to maintain positive relationships with my clients while operating my business in the most productive way possible.

After Seth's class, I feel I have the knowledge and confidence to move forward with my career.  The only warning: be prepared to have a lot of fun and sleep very little!

As a 26-year veteran commercial shooter who had attended two of Seth Resnick's evening or day-long seminars fairly recently prior to spending the week with him in Santa Fe, I wasn't sure just what I would gain through the experience. I only knew that I wanted to spend more time in his amazing energy field and absorb some of his marvelous negotiating ability and to broaden my awareness of the real meaning of "win-win." These goals were amply met in Santa Fe, but the real surprise was the subtle effect on me of sharing the week with 15 wonderful photographers from all over the US (and Turkey!) Somehow, the experiences of the week changed me, broadened me, inspired me in ways that are only now, months later, becoming apparent.

Thank you, Seth and everybody, for "shakin' me up."
