Some of you peeps in the interwebs may have seen the post that I scratched together earlier in the year titled “How does a photographer calculate their fees?“.
In there I skimmed through the basics of how a business can create a simple spreadsheet showing how to work out how much they need to earn to keep their company alive, so they can continue to provide a valuable service to their clients.
Forgetting the required creativity, skill, technique and equipment that is required for any profession that you choose to follow – this is what happens in the background long before (and after) someone picks up the phone with an enquiry. 😀
Photography is the example here, but the core knowledge transfers to virtually every business.
Following on the popularity of my last A or B, I thought I’d post another where I need your opinion ….
After some moderate recognition in one of last year’s competitions (MPA), I’m looking to re-enter for some more scrutiny this year.
This is where you come in 🙂
I decided to open up one of my submissions to public vote and I’ve narrowed down two dark/moody images for you to pick as your favourite.
I’d really like to hear your opinion and at the end of the week I’ll randomly select a voter to receive a print of both of the pictures on quality paper as a "thank you" for sharing your opinion.
Votes can be made in the comments below or by email
Which one do you prefer – A or B ?

Thanks to all of you who took 2 minutes out of your busy schedules to take a break and explore my 2 images below before picking your favourite.

The response to this was phenomenal. Emails, twitter messages and comments flowed in from high-end agencies to boutique design studios.
Thank you all, it made my week 🙂
And so – skip to the chase ….
All the replies have been totted up and the favourite image,
selected (by a landslide of 2:1) was ……. *drum roll*
But the question you may be asking is "do you get a print ….. ?"
I so appreciate the positive feedback I received that I decided to fire up the big Epson ink spitter and print off a couple more, so keep an eye on your inboxes as there may be and email from me asking you to confirm your delivery address, so I can send your voted favourite right to your doorstep 🙂
I need your opinion ….
I was selecting a picture to hang in one of my rooms, but I got stuck on which one to hang.
I printed them both thinking that would help, but I’m still stuck, so I thought I’d leave it to a vote.
I’ll randomly select a voter to receive the alternate print as a "thank you" for sharing their opinion, but I’ll wait until the 21st March to give everyone time and then notify the winner by email.
