I highly recommend this one day workshop with the incredible [b]ecker! This guy has shared so much valuable information with me over the years and is one of the photographers I credit with helping me get started in this amazing business! It's going to sell out quickly so don't wait if you want in! He's only accepting 5 photographers. I'm sure we'll be planning a poker night that week so I'll see you there! All the info to sign up is below -

[b]'s "Party of 5" one day workshop:

Instead of offering another large workshop where I try to get a bunch of photographers to sign up and go to some hotel for another seminar, I am offering an intimate, unique learning experience for a select few. "Party of 5" will be an informal workshop hosted at the [ b ] pad in Mission Viejo for 5 lucky photographers. It will be a condensed version of the [ b ] experience where I will open up my home, my life and business to anyone who wants to see exactly how we do thing around here. I'll be covering branding, pricing, marketing without advertising, workflow, shooting tips, our album process and business basics.

If things go well, I may do this once or twice a month, but for now, the only planned dates are Tuesday, December 5th (just about 3 weeks away) and Tuesday, January 9th.

The investment is $800 for an 8 hour day, ($1,200 for SoCal residents) and includes:

Tentative schedule (subject to change based on the interest of the participants)

11:00am- The Client Consultation & Profitable Pricing
12:00pm- Business Basics
12:30pm- Lunch at Claim Jumper (on me) and we'll talk about branding and marketing without advertising
2:00pm- The Album Process (+the best way to predesign)
3:30pm- Engagement Session at the beach with an actual couple (you can bring a camera or just watch me shoot)
5:00pm- the [ b ] flow & Photoshop for Slackers
6:00pm- Free for all, Q&A, portfolio review
7:00pm- Event officially concludes but y'all can stick around to chat, play pool, Ms. Pacman etc... or y'all can take me out to dinner if you want and we'll just chat some more.
