Marketing Yourself with Photo Books explores the practical considerations of building a photo book for promotional use, including the economics, portfolio use, dealing with photo editors and designers, and color fidelity. Featuring several case studies of successful photographers who use both traditional offset print processes as well as online print-on-demand bookmaking services, the e-book outlines multiple strategies that photographers can use to self-publish their work, build their brand, and generate more business.
“Today, we’re seeing an increase in smart photographers using photo books to complement their marketing efforts,” said Allen Murabayashi, CEO of PhotoShelter. “This e-book will coach photographers on ways that self-publishing can be used to effectively build a following among prospects and expand interest from existing clients.”
