Death by Digital Format. Print or Die! [PS 6]

Erica Kay sits down with Nick Page & Darin Mellor to discuss why it is important to get clients & photographers to print their work.  Beyond file preservation, the three explore why our work always looks best in print.

What’s in this episode:

  • Why our work looks best in print.
  • Educating clients; a DVD/CD is as useful as a floppy disk in five years! – Make sure your clients are backing up their files.
  • Wedding Albums have stood the test of time.
  • The Millennial Generation is the most photographed, but will have nothing to show for it.
  • How cheap print kiosks will destroy the look of your work.
  • Having customers pay for the DVD/CD or order prints to get the DVD/CD for free.
  • Including an album in Wedding Collections shows the value of the album.
  • Syncing the time code in camera. – A huge time saver when editing & presenting photos.
  • Building relationships with clients to remove the possibility of a nightmare or unrealistic expectations.
