HAPPY NEW YEAR 2017
A TRADITIONAL TIME FOR NEW BEGINNINGS

Picture
Are you satisfied with your photography business or are you looking for ways to become far more creative and be seen as really special by your customers and potential customers?  Every photographer wants to be special.  
 
Digital has transformed photography by enabling amateurs to create quality images and many amateurs today try to become professional photographers which floods the market to the point where essentially every man, woman and even children could provide their own “good enough” photography.  The outdoors, lit by the sun is their “studio”.
 
The only realistic alternative for the serious professionals is to concentrate on producing product that the others cannot do but is clearly recognizable as distinctively special and unavailable elsewhere.  
 
There are a number of options most of which revolve around working with the client in a professional studio environment and employing special tools to enhance the results.  It is in the studio that the photographer has maximum control over all the elements including lighting and has complete privacy.  Virtual backgrounds technology provides the photographer with the opportunity to infinitely vary the background ranging from a traditional studio canvas to a world of indoor, outdoor, and graphic backgrounds.  In the tradition of renowned photographer Richard Sturdevant, the photographer can perform a wide variety of graphic manipulations creating surreal images.  Virtual backgrounds enables the photographer to provide the client with a totally unique experience.
 
Right now is the perfect time to lay out plans for your transformation in 2017.  It is your time to decide if you just want to remain average or step out and move beyond.  Being special is a whole lot more fun and profitable.

SCENE MACHINE FOR SCHOOL PHOTOGRAPHY

Most school photographers use green screen to create backgrounds but never realize how much less expensive it would be if they used projected virtual backgrounds instead. They also do not realize how much easier the Scene Machine is to use than green screen.  With the digital or slide based Scene Machine, there is NO post processing. There is no worry about the colors the subject wears, there is no green fringe line.  There is no cut out look.
 
Discover for yourself the many benefits of using the Scene Machine instead of green screen for all your school and event shoots.  But be careful.  You will probably kick yourself for not going to the Scene Machine much sooner.

TWO CRITICAL QUESTIONS YOU MUST ASK YOURSELF

1.  LOOKING BACK OVER 2016, ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR PHOTOGRAPHY BUSINESS PERFORMANCE THIS PAST YEAR?
 
2.  IF NOT, WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO DIFFERENT IN 2017 TO MAKE A DIFFERENCE?

 
These are questions that anyone who is serious about being in business must ask not only at the beginning of the year but every day.  The old expression is very true.  If you continue doing the same things you have always done but expect a different outcome…then that is a definition of insanity.
 
Stop and determine what you can do different that can make a major impression on your clients and your bottom line profits?  Just charging more or less or taking more shots isn’t the answer.  The answer is in making significant thoughtful changes in your operation and your resulting products that will catch the attention of the public.
 
This is what makes virtual backgrounds so important.  It is a tool that can enable you to make a very significant difference in your overall operation providing your customers with a totally unique experience and product they cannot get anywhere else.

Buc-ee's
Buc-ee's Roars On

Picture
BUC-EE'S, the super convenience store like no other in the country, roars forward and will be soon developing locations outside of Texas.  We’ve talked about the Buc- ee's concept many times before in past issues of The Backgrounder.  The developer searched for a way to make his local convenience store truly different and he decided that they could do it by having the nicest bathrooms anyone could imagine.  And that is what he did.  Now he has locations as big as a mid-size Walmart with dozens of gas pumps and a huge array of products inside, most of which are unique to Buc-ee's.  Buc-ee's serves as a real life example that should be in every business book.
 
Everyone in business should aim to find ways to be clearly desirably different from all others.  For photographers, if everyone is taking candid portraits on location, then expand to offer your clients true professional quality images taken in a  real studio where the photographer is the master of everything yielding and experience and results that are unavailable anywhere else  We call it a Hollywood type experience.
 
You can learn a whole lot more about Buc-ee's concept by googling it.
 
If you are ever in Texas and see a Buc-ee's, drop in.  If you are in Texas and have a Buc- ee's available, you are lucky.  


 IT’S THE TOTAL EXPERIENCE
​THAT REALLY COUNTS

A professional photographer should not just be a camera buff who shoots hundreds of candid pictures here and there around the area.  A true professional photographer is able to make their clients look their very best with proper lighting, complementary poses and creative backgrounds that no amateur and most professionals can’t do.  It’s the total experience that the true trained professional can provide to each and every client with a wide variety of quality timeless images that they will cherish.  
 
Professional photography is so much more than a bunch of candid snapshots.  Make 2017 the year when you provide your clients with a whole new experience in photography and grow your bottom line at the same time.
