Knowledge is power.
Arm yourself.
T
he stock photography business can be simultaneously exceedingly rewarding and exceedingly daunting.After spending more than three decades in the picture business, it’s the conclusion of Stock Answers®founder and Chief Knowledge Officer Paul H. Henning that those who succeed in stock today are those who have the best information and apply it both wisely and relentlessly.
With that in mind, Paul is always eager to share his knowledge with others: “I’ve never forgotten that when I started in the stock business I knew next to nothing about it, but I learned a massive amount by attending seminars and seeking out the folks who were already established in this industry.I generally found those people to be to be extremely generous in sharing their knowledge, and I’m simply trying to emulate their example.”
S
ince the late 1980’s Paul H. Henning has been a frequent teacher, writer, panelist, moderator and presenter on the subject of the stock picture industry and regularly appears before audiences at photo trade shows and association meetings.In May of 2002 he was a featured presenter at the annual CEPIC Congress held in Budapest, Hungary and one year later chaired a packed breakout session on keywording at CEPIC’s ’03 meeting in Lisbon, Portugal.Most recently he has presented sessions on succeeding in stock to the Society of American Travel Writers’ “Institutes for Digital Travel Photography” held in both Lake Louise, Alberta and Milwaukee, Wisconsin as well as moderating the “Education & Networking” events hosted by the American Society of Picture Professionals Midwest Chapter in Chicago in both 2010 & 2011.
