Is anyone watching Jim Garner on CL?

I cannot stop comparing his method to Gary Fong's storybook method from 8-10 years ago.

Was he a GF disciple?

Sure - Jim's album designs and are more up to date but the underlying sales method is the same - shoot for the album to tell a story, push the album, not the individual images, overdesign the book to upsell the album- sell the experience not the images.

Funny how a guy we all love to make fun of had the basic concept down long before the Rockstar photographers of today.

I watched a while though what I am interested in is his workflow strategy and his concept of 1 spread = 1 edit unit insteadvof 1 image = 1 edit unit.

"a guy we all love to make fun of "

I don't think most are that small, are they?

I think with all these CL people there are some interesting take away pieces and concepts. The industry and these types of "educators" seem to think that one size fits all. I'd never want the weight and responsibility of his business, maybe you do, and that's cool. Clearly we should all be aiming for better and selling art to our clients. I just don't think you need to sell out like many in the industry do. Lot's of workshops, products and bullshit selling dreams to people that clearly can't make it happen.

Be yourself, take good photos and be nice to people. Let's just start there...
