Why?The economics of content and contexthave changed and shifted the balance ofpower and opportunity from creators ofcontent to creators of context.
Thus, the biggest creative and businessopportunities for photographers is not theimage, but everything around the image.

Recap: How?Combine online and offline
Create “Content Moments” and Shareable Experiences(and share them!)
Embed narrative into the content
Be a hub (i.e. create and connect a community)
Instead of selling just the image, sell everything around theimage. (i.e., sell the experience, the meaning, theconnections)

Remember: Context can’t becopied blindly.
The story, experience and contenthas to be tailored to the event,community, and purpose.

I often hear…
“But I only want to take photos!”
1. It’s never worked that way.
2. Good luck.
