The Business View of Photography :: February Speaker

[TM_Images]

Hello!

February Speaker :: Matt Polze, Lawyer
February 25th, 7PM - 9PM :: $39 Advance / $49 Door

Don't Miss this Opportunity to hear what really is important to photographers from a legal setting. Matt is a wonderful resource for both established and new photographers. Are you comfortable with your contracts? Should your assistant be given a 1099 or a W-2? Come to the sessions and ask your questions! As always, Food will be Provided!

Over and over again, we hear from photographers who are looking to take that next step and elevate themselves and their companies from just breaking even to breaking through. While sometimes it is the quality of the work, more often than not, it is the knowledge of running a business that needs help. Marketing, Web Design, Networking, Taxation, Accounting, and so much more must be a part of every photo business. Join us to hear a new guest speaker each month, partake in Q&A sessions, and meet other photographers!
