Although Dane Sanders is a wedding photographer, his introspective Fast Track Photographer coaching method is applicable to just about any style of shooter. I’m an adventure guy, and I found it to be an incredibly useful and inspiring resource for coming up with new business ideas. (Read my personal analysis here.)
I caught Dane after his PhotoPlus Expo business and career seminar and asked him what brief bit of advice he’d give to working photographers. Here’s his answer above.
In many ways, PhotoPlus Expo is all about the gear. We all want to see the coolest new toys from the manufacturers: gear that inspires us or solves problems. Or that makes us feel really cool.
Here’s one from Lowepro: the brand new, innovative Lens Exchange 200 lens case. It addresses the problem of… well, let’s just put it this way — How many times have you almost dropped a lens while changing them? Yeah, me too.
I could try to explain how it works, but why don’t you just watch this video and see for yourself.
