Photography, Branding & Design

Branding and design for a photography business goes way beyond just creating nice-looking logos, websites, and marketing collateral. A photographer really needs to understand who he or she is and his or her style of photography.

Paul Hebron sat down with designer Meg Long and photographers Pam Conchas and Tara Nalani to discuss all of these topics and more.
