Today’s post comes as a logical continuation of the recent entries I have been posting on the use of social media to develop a photographic business. Only this time there is a bit of a twist: this is not a written post, but rather an audio file, a podcast! A first ever on Out of Focus. I am looking forward to see your reactions on whether you actually enjoy the experiment and if you want me to continue with it.
Last week, Richard Wong addressed how Twitter can be harnessed to develop one’s brand and business. This week, renowned stock photographer Jack Hollingsworth speaks about the future of photography (and stock in particular). Jack also explains his views on how he sees the photography business evolving and the influence social media will have on photography.
Jack is one of the most well known names in stock photography. An early and very successful pioneer in royalty free stock, Jack sells stock through Getty, Corbis as well as through the many companies he has created and driven. A true pioneer, he continues to be an influential and outspoken voice in the field.
Please join me in welcoming Jack to the first ever Out of Focus Podcast!
Jack, your turn

Fantastic interview gentlemen! I would love to see some sort of on-line version of the Photographer Makeover because I think this is something so important for all of us. It is great to hear so much enthusiasm about the photo industry from both of you while there is so much doom and gloom out there. Best of luck!
Great Interview, guys. Jack is certainly a great speaker. Clear, concise, and empowering.
Bravo.
Cheers,
Gary.
