 I think it's safe to assume that nearly every designer out there who has worked in either print or digital media has encountered a job that required custom photography. It's true that low-cost stock photo sites like iStockPhoto.com and Creative Commons-based sites like Flickr have become ubiquitous, but plenty of jobs require a designer to hire and directly work with a photographer. As an early-career designer, I thought it might be useful to describe the process I've used for organizing and art directing a shoot.

 One of the many problems for photographers is how those who couldn't care less about the business of photography do damage to the business of photography. Often, these are people who have other jobs that pay the bills, and they look to photo credit to give them pleasure, acclaim, and notoriety, getting their satisfaction at the expense -- literally -- of those who earn a living making pictures. Many times, these are "moms with cameras", or MWCs. What I'd like to highlight today is something different. It's a MWC who is endeavoring to do things right.

 Who are you?
Not as a human being, but as a photographer, designer, or image distributor. Who are you as a businessperson? What exactly do you do? What do you bring to the table that someone might buy? What are you not so good at? What would you rather not do?

The World Press Photo competition has a history of selecting images for its "Best of" prize that defy the "wow" factor so common among contests. This year's winning photo by Tim Hetherington is no exception.

 How do you catch the eye of an agency art director with an attention span of 3.5 seconds and no time to look at your work?
Like many small creative agencies, my company sees, hears from, and works with photographers every day. Only a handful, however, have captured and maintained our attention to the point where we collaborate regularly. Why? More than anything, talent drives business. But over the years, we've noticed a few promotional and relationship-building tactics that are consistently effective for photographers trying to stand out from the crowd.
