Should I Work For Free?
Photography can be a funny business and there are times as photographers when we are asked to work for free. Sometimes this is formally called "pro bono" work, but its all the same. I got a question this week from a viewer who asks if its good to do for "exposure". I can tell you that in my 20 year career I've run across this offer of work for "exposure" more times than I'd have liked to. I've got some fairly strong opinions on this as well. You will have to make up your own mind as to what you want to do with your career but hopefully this video will give you a few pointers that might help.\n\n\t\t\t\t\tSubscribe for more videos!\n\t\t\t\t\thttp://www.youtube.com/subscription_center?add_user=theartofphotography\n\n\t\t\t\t\tTwitter: http://twitter.com/tedforbes\n\t\t\t\t\tInstagram: http://instagram.com/tedforbes\n\t\t\t\t\tFacebook: https://www.facebook.com/aop.podcast\n\t\t\t\t\tPinterest: http://pinterest.com/tedforbes\n\t\t\t\t\tWebsite: http://theartofphotography.tv\n\n\t\t\t\t\tWatch More Episodes:\n\t\t\t\t\tBuild a photography portfolio website in 5 min: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Fp44Pp5Yb4\n\t\t\t\t\tPhotography Portfolios: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=difQ-HsiH94\n\t\t\t\t\tPortfolio Ideas: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f9NZ9GAEG3g\n\n\t\t\t\t\tAnd get on our mailing list to stay up to date on photography news and the latest episodes:\n\n\t\t\t\t\thttp://theartofphotography.tv/about/mailing-list/\n\n\t\t\t\t\tThanks for watching - if you like this video, remember to share it with your friends!\n\n\t\t\t\t\tTed Forbes\n\t\t\t\t\tThe Art of Photography\n\t\t\t\t\t3100 Main St #135\n\t\t\t\t\tDallas, Texas 75226\n\n\n\t\t\t\t\tMy name is Ted Forbes and I make videos about photography.
