Simply put, the business of photography is time-consuming and often daunting. Not only do photographers need to make great photographs, but they need to stay in business too. John Harrington’s program is packed with information on how to operate a successful freelance photography business; how to determine your rates, handle “no-change” contracts, late-paying clients and debates over rate increases; and how to negotiate better. Considerations when developing rates and resources, designing a business model that accounts for everything from taxes to business expenses, and several techniques for negotiating with clients will be discussed. For nearly two decades, John Harrington has covered the world of politics, traveled internationally and negotiated contracts along the way. His work has appeared in Time, Newsweek and Rolling Stone.

That’s tonight, folks. It should be better than last year.
