Robert Caplin and The Photo Brigade
“I decided to exclusively feature the work of freelance photographers like myself for numerous reasons. For starters, it’s not a secret that the media industry has taken a huge hit with the turbulent economy and recession of the past few years, so not only have there been less and less jobs available, but also staff photographers have been getting laid-off by the truckload. Unless those photographers decide to choose an entirely new career path, their only choice is to become a freelancer on their own and their blogs are one of their greatest marketing tools. We freelancers have to be savvy businessmen (and women) and continuously keep our names at the top of our clients’ call sheets. No greater way to do that than by posting our latest work to our blogs.”
Robert Caplin, founder of The Photo Brigade.
If you are a working freelancer photographer or a Photo Editor and you haven’t heard of The Photo Brigade, then head on over and check out some of the great photography on display. Updated regularly, the site features diverse work from lots of photographers you have probably never heard of and probably some you have (Donald Miralle, Brad Mangin and Chip Litherland, just to name a few).
Kudos to Robert for testing the proof of concept and putting the site together. In my mind it is one of the great things about the web these days – connecting people with like minded interests and just putting it out there and seeing if it will all work.
