Artist Reps: The great facilitators. Those that help photographers, directors, videographers, and creators of all stripes be found by art buyers and creative directors; helping to bridge ambition, financing, and capabilities in launching wide-reaching, broadly-influencing campaigns and projects. With an award winning roster comprising the photo and motion world’s top talent, Heather Elder has been at the heart of countless operations, large and small. Through her Podcast, Dear Art Producer, and alongside a rotating guest list of distinguished industry personalities, she has sought to share insights from many of the different perspectives one finds in this work.

In a continuation of their efforts to foster community connection and support photographers and videographers, ASMP Mountain West was proud to host a live Q&A with Heather on Thursday March 26th, 2020. The Covid-19 pandemic has caused a drastic slowdown in many areas of our economy, and the visual arts has certainly been heavily affected. Whether you’ve had jobs cancel, you’re self-quarantined and working from home, or even if your own work has been less severely affected, this discussion with Heather will offer a chance to speak with one of the field’s top experts on how best to get your work in front of prospective clients, how to arrange and present that work and yourself in the most effective way, negotiating terms, and how to ensure clients keep returning to you in the future. In her many interviews with those both looking to hire content creators, and those looking to be hired, Ms. Elder is constantly unearthing new trends in every one of the above categories.

What to consider when choosing Photographer’s Insurance

jakecampos — Wed, 18 Dec 2019 18:19:43 +0000

Insurance for photographers needs to cover a broad range of risks, yet should be tailored to the risks faced by your business. ASMP Mtn West Sponsor and Allstate Agent Howard Burkholz gives advice on what to consider when choosing coverage that does both. This presentation was given to ASMP Seattle and is cross-posted here. Full disclosure – Howard has long been a supporter of the ASMP Mountain West, and an insurance agent for ASMP Mountain West President Jake Campos. This post is not an endorsement of his business, but rather intended to be used for informative purposes when choosing what kinds of coverage are right for you and your operation. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YjY0XAru3vw&t=706s

We are the photographers and visual creatives of the ASMP Mountain West! Our chapter includes Utah, Idaho, Montana, and Wyoming. Whatever content you’re after, look here first for experienced, motivated, and passionate problem solvers and creatives. As a chapter, we work to support, educate, and build ties within our local photographic community and advocate on their behalf on matters that affect us all. In the recent past, we’ve been able to present an Adobe Creative Jam with presenters whose specialty ranged from editorial to commercial to wedding and portraiture; we hosted an evening of marketing, pricing, and portfolio reviews with Wonderful Machine, and most recently in Jackson, WY, we packed the Rose Bar for an intimate discussion and Q&A with renowned commercial photographer Andy Anderson and a panel of varied and accomplished visual artists.
