Free Webinar from National Geographic and PhotoShelter

In case you're interested, PhotoShelter will have a free webinar on Tuesday, June 5, 2012 4:00 PM - 5:00 PM EDT:

What Photo Buyers Want: National Geographic's Senior Photo Editor, Elizabeth Krist 

"Simply put, National Geographic has the kind of photography that makes your jaw drop. This award-winning magazine is revered for its striking images from all corners of the world, and for that reason photographers dream of getting hired to shoot a featured story.

In this live webinar with National Geographic, Senior Photo Editor Elizabeth Krist will share what kind of photography grabs her attention, as well as a behind-the-scenes look at how she and her colleagues closely work with photographers to take the issue’s photos from inception to completion. Elizabeth will also discuss:

*How the magazine’s content dictates what photography will be commissioned vs. picked up.
*The standout quality that makes photographers most valuable to the magazine.
*What it’s really like to work as a freelance photographer with the photo department.
*And more!"
You can register here: https://www2.gotomeeting.com/register/632256098.  It's free but space is limited.

(I'm not associated with Photoshelter in any way.  I'm just passing on this information because it sounds interesting - unfortunately, I won't be able to attend but I hope they have it available it later on their website, http://www.photoshelter.com/.  If you haven't visited them, they have lots of down loadable free guides "packed with tips to grow your photography business".  They request your email address, but they aren't obnoxious about the number of emails they send.)
