The Photo Cooperative, online at http://thephotocooperative.com

I’m excited to be launching a new photo agency, in fact, a whole new Way of doing a photo agency.  We’re off to a humble start, with 6 artists in diverse fields of professional imagery, but are officially online!  I set out to gather artists to cover a wide range of styles and offer us all to professional clients without the traditional middle man, the agency.  I believe the current model for initial interaction between professional artists and potential clients is nearly all online.  Print books and mailers are important, but are a followup to the meet and greet that takes place on the Web.  So where does the traditional agent fit in?  Valuable, certainly, but more likely to be an editor, a Web page moderator, and a contract negotiator.  I’m taking representation into my own hands!

Artists were chosen based on talent, diverse specialties, capability, and general friendliness.  As artists, we can deliver!  (with no agency markup)  I’m excited about this newest effort and look forward to taking it to the Top!
