Advertising is an interesting platform for a photographers career.
Due to the clients needs to sell and have a product become an asset not only for the company for for the buyer, it takes large team of people really to make that product sell off the shelve. Marketing, budgets, focus groups often study for months to figure out how to target and make something successful.
My job is for me quite simple. Make the object desirable.
I just want to commend those folks that make us a team.
First off you can't get the job without the art buyer.
We love the Art Buyer.
The Client creates the product.
Agency who has the clients best interest at heart.
Account Executives get you paid.
