Los Angeles based award winning freelance photographer Todd Bigelow will teach his workshop
that was named by Photoshelter in 2014 and 2015 as one of the top fifty photo seminars worldwide!
The two day course is designed for those interested in pursuing freelance photography careers

foundations and corporations. The course provides practical advice and information on the business
of photography derived from Todd’s two decades of shooting assignments for TIME, Sports
Illustrated, Smithsonian, Newsweek, National Geographic Traveler, People, James Irvine Foundation,
Costco, Target and many others. He presents real experiences and scenarios as the basis for
discussions regarding valuing your work, client development, portfolio presentations, copyright,
licensing photos for revenue, dealing with contracts, rate and term standards, social media
integration, legal & tax issues, agency representation, image workflow and more. Basically, the topics
that freelancers face on a daily basis are addressed at length and from a practical, modern
standpoint. It’s the goal of the workshop for students to leave with a sound understanding to
successfully handle the significant business matters they will face on a daily basis as a professional
freelance photographer.
The course has also been offered at UCLA, Brooks Institute of Photography, American Society of
Media Photographers, San Diego State University, University of Nevada, Las Vegas, Otis College of

REAL ESTATE

NO DAYS VACANT—NO LOST RENT
PROPERTY MANAGEMENT ANYBODY CAN DO
Did your house not sell and now you’ve got to rent it out? Are you an “accidental landlord”? Tired of
property managers ripping you off? Most people hate the idea of total strangers living in your houses that
don’t pay on time, call you at 2 am and trash out your property. It doesn’t have to be like this. How would
you like your residents to:
• Pay the rent before it’s due?
• Maintain or even improve your property’s value?
• Get along with the neighbors?
• Stay a long time?
Land lording is an invaluable skill because tenants will make you rich. They will pay off your loans for you,
protect your property and provide you with a constant and never-ending stream of checks that show up
in your mailbox every month. Having a portfolio of rented out houses is the best investment ever—better
than annuities, better than stocks, better than gold. In this informative and practical class, attendees will:
• Become skilled at training your tenants to work FOR you
• Learn how to find the neighborhoods where properties rent quickly and easily
• Be surprised at the “no hassle” way of managing properties
• Learn how to find and screen great tenants you can trust
• Uncover simple ways to increase cash flow
• Discover how your residents will do the land lording work for you
• See how to identify the most profitable properties
• Be warned about which home improvements to avoid
• Realize why landlord-tenant laws are so vital
• Utilize powerful, ready-to-use land lording forms
• How to advertise and market your properties at little or no cost
• Turn up little-known tax breaks available to full time or part time landlords
This seminar will show first time and experienced investors how to safely and easily rent out houses with
minimal time and effort.

Coming up against other people is an unavoidable
part of life. Our lives are full of ordinary little
encounters like asking the boss for a raise, being
criticized by a significant other, needing to say no to a
request, trying to get into a lane in traffic, apologizing
for hurting someone or riding herd on subordinates at
work. These experiences put pressure on us and we
often don’t use our very best smarts or achieve the
best results. Sometimes we are left with lingering bad
feelings. If you have trouble holding your ground,
people will walk on you. If you over-react, you will
create bad scenes and be exposed to backlash.
Perhaps you get into recurrent patterns with people
where you keep on doing the same ineffective thing.
Poor handling of other people will just bring you
hassle and bruised feelings. Skillful handling of
everyday conflicts will get you more respect and
cooperation and will leave you feeling better about
yourself. This class will teach you more about dealing
with fear, anger, defensiveness, ego, abuse, games,
intimidation, misunderstanding and whatever else
creates friction in your relations with people. Even if
you already have a high level of skill dealing with
people, you can still learn more.

INCONVENIENT EMOTIONS
Here is something you can use everyday. Do you get frustrated or thrown at times by people’s
emotional reactions? Can your own feelings trip you up? Do you sometimes wish that everyone in your
life would be more objective and logical? We live in a world of people and are constantly activated by
feelings. Interpersonal interactions have a significant but often invisible emotional component that we
need to navigate, yet skill in handling emotions is seldom taught in a school setting. Skill at handling the
emotions that underlie human behavior will greatly empower you in your career and personal
relationships. In this class, we will discuss the nuts and bolts of people’s emotional workings. We will be
looking to increase your ability to predict and deal with your own and other people’s reactions. Some of
the subjects to be covered are ego, defensiveness, games people play, control, proving, abandonment,
fear, intimacy, hope and disappointment, susceptibility to shame and guilt, acting out, trust, respect,
dignity, being triggered and peace of mind. We will spend three hours discussing real life stuff going on
inside and around us all the time.
