Boudoir, Nudity and the DWF |
 It’s
the most viewed discussion on the DWF in a long time, and an
enlightening one, as DWF PRO members discuss boudoir
photography, nudity, and what’s appropriate for a professional
photography forum.We truly want ALL opinions,
whether you’re the most or least active member of the DWF.
Before deciding about appropriate image posting guidelines, we
want YOUR comment. Because it’s your community!

Wedding Paparazzi |
 It’s
one of those wedding pictures worth 1,000 cameras. You have to
see it and instantly see how our business is changing.Along
the same lines there’s another discussion where members are
discussing their most frustrating Uncle Bob stories. But while
you can feel the frustration, you’ll also find advice, as DWF
PRO’s discuss how they handle these incidents.

Wallet-Size Family Portraits ??? |
 Don't
laugh, with the economy slowly sputtering back to life, people
are still keeping an tight reign on their budgets.
If you think you're a photographer not a salesman, think
again. DWF members share the most 'interesting' reasons
customers have given for 'downsizing' in the sell session.
Even better: Members share creative answers for getting
clients to 'go big or go home'.

Pretty Up Your Price List |
 Let's
face it, if you give out a price list you want it to look as
good as your work. Whether it's pdf or
press-printed, design does matter- especially when you're
selling your artistic talent.
DWF Pro Juan Posada and others share their price
list designs and offer suggestions on how to make the most out
of this sometimes overlooked marketing piece.

and wants them removed.
