Enlightened Business Practices and Photography

Posted on Aug 14th, 2007 by Frank : Social Media Correspondent Frank
I have been following the efforts of a friend named Brian Robertson of Ternary Software to bring enlightened business practices to the Software Industry. 

It occurred to me today that if I'm going to build what I consider a successful business out of my love for photography that it would have to be done with some of these concepts in mind.

Here is a summary of how I'm applying enlightened business practices to photography:

1.  Customers should have unrestricted access to their photographs.
2.  Customers should only be required to purchase prints they want.
3.  Customers should pay a fair hourly rate for the photographers time.
4.  Printing of photographs should be limited as much as possible.
5.  A portion of time should be dedicated to mastering the craft.
6.  A portion of time should be dedicated to worthy causes.

This is no doubt only a beginning but I'm looking forward to the remainder of the journey.  If you have any ideas on how I can better apply enlightened business practices to the business of photograpy shoot me an e-mail or leave me a comment
