BILL BACHMANN: “STOCK IS NOT DEAD!” Tuesday, Feb 21, 2012

These are tough times for photographers! Many professionals feel the pinch in reduced fees, requests for much more additional usage, competing photographers everywhere, and the frustration of making less money while doing more.
Bill Bachmann will present a lecture with many positive & inspiring ways to add both the enjoyment and more lucrative methods to do the same photography. Bill has given lectures around the world and seen countless photographers experience more fun and find greater success in their careers. He will present ways to earn considerably more money and have the freedom to create images we all love. He also will give suggestions on how he markets his work to get bigger & better-paying assignments, both nationally and internationally. His new book, “Remember the Joy” is the perfect book to help every photographer achieve this freedom & financial success.
Considered one of the top-five stock photographers in the world, Bill is anxious to share his knowledge with other photographers. This presentation is guaranteed to inspire and inform. Bill’s enthusiasm, energy, and sharing will make the evening an enjoyable experience. His visual presentation, methods & experiences will motivate you to make more money in this slow economy with images you already have or will take. That alone will give any photographer incredible freedom to just create beautiful pictures that make more money. Bill has given over 200 lectures around the world and appeared on almost 100 TV talk shows. But he always looks forward to his best lecture — his next one!

The Speaker
Colleen Wainwright is a writer-speaker-consultant who started calling herself “the communicatrix” when she hit three hyphens. She spent 10 years as an award-winning TV copywriter crafting ads for brands like Wheaties®, Gatorade® and Jell-O®, and another 10 acting in them for cash money. Since deciding she’d blow her brains out if she had to sit through one more meeting about which way the bears danced around the cereal box, Colleen spends most of her time teaching other creative souls how to talk about what they do in a way that wins them attention, work and satisfaction.
