Hi Ferdinand,
I’ll be taking photographs at the LA Bottle and Collectible Show this year. I plan on having my own booth set up with a back-drop and some lights also.
I will be doing shifts of walking around the show taking pictures for the club in exchange for my table, and manning my booth to take pictures of show attendees’ bottles under controlled, and professional lighting conditions. The photos I will be taking at my table will not be for the show, but a personal endeavor to try and market my photography to individual bottle collectors. I will be charging a small fee for collectors to place their bottle in the “spotlight” and have some professional quality photos taken for either their personal collection or for if they are trying to sell their bottle. I haven’t gotten all the details worked out, but I will have some example photos for people to see and choose their shots. I will be offering a package of 3 choice photos for $20, with each additional photo for $5 each after that. The photo release form will include areas for descriptions, values, etc. that will be typed up and included with the bottle photos that will either be emailed to the collector, or posted on a photo download site with individual secure passwords.
If I have time I plan to make up a small flyer before hand for what I will be doing. The reason Pam and my dad suggested I mention this to you is in case you would be so helpful as to mention in one of your website postings that the LA Show will have a show photographer, as well as a photography booth where they can bring their best bottles to be professionally photographed. It would be great if people knew ahead of time and could prepare. I would gladly promote both Peachridge Glass and the FOHBC at my table. Let me know if you would be able to mention this for me.
See you at the Auburn show!
