Tips for me to Remember when Meeting up with Other Photographers… 

On April 26, 2013 by erikathornes@gmail.com With 16 Comments - Uncategorized
1. Arrive early (of course!)
2. Offer to buy the coffee…
3. Ask about their personal projects, and be genuinely engaged…
4. Follow up with a thank you text/e-mail note about the conversation.

(those are all obvious no brainers.) but the biggest one that I, personally must remember… 
The most important one:
5. Order Half Caff! I'm still bouncing off the walls 4 hours later. :)

But it was a great meeting, and I'm jazzed about some projects I will be working on. Looking forward to building a new professional relationship and working my tail off!

    First off, you are extremely hot! :)
    Secondly, every time I meet up with photographers it's to just hang out so no professionalisms required 😀

    +Chris Bagley sometimes it is for fun, sometimes it is to build professional relationships and work together on projects and 2nd shoot. 100% different than a photo walk, or a get together at the bar after a group talk type thing.
