A New Venue for Photographers Just Starting Out - "Going Pro"

7/16/2014

Right off the bat some of you are rolling your eyes and mumbling something about, "Just what we need, another educational venue for beginners!" Well, this might surprise you, but I agree. There are too many places people can get help, including photographers who decide they can teach a workshop just because they've been in business for a couple of years! Sadly, while there are lots of places that appear to help, not all of them are giving out good solid information and the help you need.

So, what makes Going Pro different from everything else you have access to?

"Going Pro is all about helping new as well as seasoned pro photographers working on new concepts. We want to be a resource to help you thrive - not just survive!

What makes this forum so unique is the quality of the administrators. We've put together one of the most powerful groups of educators in professional photography today. They're each part of this project because they believe in education and have something very special to offer...their passion."

Each moderator has their own unique skill set, blog and resource to help you not only get the answers you need for the challenges you face, but the information and technique to help you raise the bar on your skill set. It's only been live for two days, but there's already some great discussions going on and links to some really useful information.

Like we said in the description for this new forum...This is all about helping photographers thrive, not just survive!

"Why?"

Check out "Why?" one of the most popular features on the SCU Blog. It's a very simple concept - one image, one artist and one short sound byte. Each artist shares what makes the image one of their most favorite. There were fifty different artists featured in 2016 and we anticipate doubling that in 2017.
