Showcase Your BEST Work

I got an email from a photographer last week. I was totally flabergasted by his approach and what he said.

The jist of it was: Would I look at his website. Would I take into account that he was displaying second and third best photos on his site because he was afraid people were going to steal the "good stuff."

My question to him was. If you are showing your third rate photos (and they were) that is what people are going to think of you as ... a third rate photographer that is not worthy of their time.

No wonder he had no sales.

You HAVE to show your best work. This is what "brands" you as a photographer. This is how people will think of you. This is why people will HIRE you.

The big fear, of course is ... having your photos ripped off. And in this digital age that's easier than ever before. However, you still have to show your best stuff. No way around it. I have talked before about a low cost service that will check to see if your photos are being used without your permission. If you are worried about rip-offs then pay the small price for your own peace of mind.

What's that song? Hit me with your best shot!
