Choosing the right photographer for your project is incredibly important. This is something too many prospects don’t realize when hiring, and knowing who to hire is a fundamental aspect of good project management. Of course, this is true for any market. While it’s tempting to hire a hobbyist photog friend to save a buck—or that photographer who did an amazing portrait of your dog—to photograph your new office’s aerial, you should be focused on what photographer fits your goals and budget.

The images I chose were based simply on the opportunities presented, and the […]
The ever-turbulent world of social media seems to have one constant — the transparency debate. The problem with much of our society is we’re trend-driven, acting on emotion instead of timeless, pragmatic principles. Rather than carefully monitoring trends, doing the research and extracting from them what works, a lot of us jump right in. Strategy needs to be thought through, not trendily executed. Many seem insistent on total transparency, without heeding caution to consequences of “loose tweets, sink fleets.” PR and communication is, and always will be, an art of tightrope, even when everyone’s pulling their pants down for the […]
