Graphic Art and the Photographer - Important to our Photography Community
Years ago, when it was only film photography we were discussing we photographers did not have to be educated in photoshop or graphics, art yes but not particularly graphic art. Oh how things have changed. Now we, as photographers, need to understand photoshop, taking photoshop courses online or in traditional classrooms. It's important that we are artists graphically and not just able to set up some good backgrounds with excellent lighting. Here is our take on Graphic Art. Below is a print that one of our staffers, an expert graphic artist Elena did for our already cool concept of our brand new look. We have to give credit where credit is due, if it weren't for Steve developing the new look and it weren't for Heather our Blogger and Assistant Photo Instructor then we would be nothing. Great job guys. I'm proud of NewBrightApples online photography community

Choose the right name for your photography business. Once you know your goals, come up with a name that helps you meet your goals. The larger you want to become, the more time you should put into creating a name for your photography business. A small business may only register it with the state or your local area. But a studio with larger goals should secure the domain name, and register a trademark to block others from using it too. You would be amazed at how many ideas you feel like you have created are already owned by someone else.
