We were the first post processing company to launch an Aperture Workflow.

With focused insight from our resident Aperture expert advisor, Sara France, we’ve updated it with features you said you wanted!

Our friends at LensProToGo have just launched their brand new iOS APP.  It’s FREE.  It’s AWESOME and we want you to know about it!

Consumers can now rent photo and video equipment from their phone!

LensProToGo, one of the nation’s largest camera, lens, and DSLR video equipment rental companies, today announced the release of its free iOS app, which
allows renters to browse and order equipment right from their phone in less than 30 seconds.

The app adds two new features not yet available on the website to make the rental process easier and more efficient. Users can mark select gear as a “Favorite” while browsing over 400 items by brand (featuring an up to date line up from both Canon and Nikon) or type. Favorite items are always quickly accessible in the “Favorites” view so a renter can immediately select gear from their personally created list. Additionally, experienced users will benefit from the new “Quick Add” icon which allows them to add multiple items to their cart instantly, even from their Favorites list, without viewing the items detail page.

If users do want to learn more about a piece of equipment, the app’s item detail page provides photos, descriptions, technical specifications, suggested accessories and even a related item for comparison. Because LensProToGo is staffed entirely by working professional photographers and DSLR filmmakers, their expertise is essential to providing these relevant suggestions. The app also provides links to camera manuals for photographers to view while in the field or on the go. Additionally, customers can access LensProToGo’s social media accounts and blog, as well as find directions to the store.

“The idea for the LensProToGo App came from a desire to make it easier, faster and more convenient for photographers and filmmakers to get the gear they need no matter where they are.” said Paul Friedman, Owner of LensProToGo. “Whether they are on location, waiting in line at the grocery store, or on the side of a mountain renting gear is just a few taps away. From a development standpoint, we wanted to really focus on efficiency. As photographers and filmmakers ourselves, we understand just how precious time can be.”

The new app can be downloaded from the App Store by searching “LensProToGo” or through the following link: https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/lensprotogo/id577126746?ls=1&mt=8

Mystic Seminars – January 8-11, 2013

“To me, Mystic is special because it is not just about the seminars, it also puts photographers together as equals.  At many conferences that I attended, there is a division between the teachers and students, unlike Mystic, were we all sit together.  At Mystic, I have not only learned tools to make me a stronger photographer, but I have also made connection that have resulted in being mentored by some of the top photographers in the industry.”

Jared’s thoughts on why the Youngrens are joining the tour for 4 cities:

“Jeff and Erin have become go-to resources in the world of client interaction. Their ability to discern the type of client they attract, and clearly replicate this time and time again, is unique. Their topic “Blogging is Dead” is a guide to their client-focused approach.”

Our President Jared Bauman, on why he wanted the Dove’s on board:

“Catherine and Scott have shown a really strong ability to be themselves…. in all situations.  They are true to who they are, and what they want their business to be.  They have found a method of profiting, based on concepts that aren’t always easy to grasp.  I was so excited to hear them outline one of the leading principles behind their success.”

Description:
This is not a typical workshop.  It’s not a seminar.  If you’re looking for a day of learning more about your camera and shooting pretty models – this isn’t for you.  On the other hand, if you’re ready to go deep – and get serious about your photography business, you can’t afford to miss this.  You can’t afford to NOT start out right. Unlike most photography workshops, this isn’t about photography.  It’s based on business principles and best practices. From knowing your numbers, setting up process and workflows, to developing a brand and taking care of your clients, this workshop covers the things you need to know to help you build a profitable and sustainable photography business
