What It Actually Takes for a Photographer to Get Signed — And Paid — by an Agency
About this episode
This episode discusses the realities of getting signed by an agency as a photographer, including pricing and the role of AI.
There's a number in this episode that'll make you rethink what your images are actually worth — and it's not about day rate. We get into the pricing conversation almost nobody has out loud, plus a straight answer to the question every unrepresented photographer wants to ask: what does it actually take to get signed? Beyond that, there's a look at what a real agency production involves once the cameras roll, an initiative built to open industry doors for people who've never had an "in," and a clear-eyed take on where AI actually helps a working photographer — and where it doesn't.
