At a recent event at the Children’s Museum of the East End in the Hamptons, Tamara sat down with author and television host Katie Brown, of PBS’ The Katie Brown Workshop and Lifetime’s Next Door with Katie Brown to discusses how she created her success, what she considers when balancing motherhood and work – and exactly what she looks for when hiring commercial photographers.
Underwriter of the show, powerhouse photography retailer Adorama.com, is giving out a $25 gift card – good as cash on their site – to one of the commenters of the post. Just share your feedback on this episode, about how to get hired for the job of your dreams … whether it’s as a TV Host or a commercial photographer. The winner will be selected on Friday, August 19th!
I love Evernote. I have been using it for about two years and switched to the paid version almost immediately. It is very easy to keep organized by just remembering to put everything into Evernote.

oh, Evernote, such a great software. Replaces my terrible memory and helps me keep track of things.
LOVE the new venture!!!!

Using your creativity to go above and beyond is always the best way to make yourself stand out. I am constantly trying to remind myself that I’m selling MYSELF first and not my photographs. Thanks for this reminder 🙂 great episode!

I use Evernote also, very useful…I always appreciate new techniques tho! Thanks for sharing! (Secretly LOVE Adorama! I have a list of things I dream of buying daily)
this episode is great. When you love something you really do need to just go for it. Being a photography, military wife and mom is hard to balance but im starting to realize that the more i do the things i love, the more i can love the things i do.

A love how she talks about the attitude of the photographer being as important, or more important, than the quality of the photographs. I think a lot of people miss this. If you take technically perfect photos but are a pain in the a** to deal with no one will hire you. They will hire the guy who photos may not be perfect but is a pleasure to work with.

Awesome. Tamara you are suppose to be on TV, it’s so easy to watch you 😉 and I agree with Katie Brown we should give 150% in what we do. That’s for sure will help us succeed.

Networking really helped me get one of my dream jobs, shooting for Hudson Valley Magazine. Inviting them to my parties and socializing with their staff really helped get my name around their office. Recently I shot an 8 page spread for them.

I’m really glad you joined the Adorama team in these informative videos. I try to never miss one, and they have definitely helped my photography. I really hope with your videos I learn a lot about the business of photography, in case I decide to make that jump. Thanks.

Thanks for this episode it was great! I think confidence and flexibility are definitely two must haves when approaching any job opportunity. Who wants to hire someone who isn’t confident in what they do, or isn’t willing to move with the eb and flow of circumstances?

I think the most important part of getting the job you want is not necessarily giving an impression, but selling yourself. Tell the person you’re interviewing with what YOU can do for THEM — even when they ask what you’re looking for in a position, always phrase it in ways that illustrate what you want to contribute to their vision, not what you want them to do for you.

I would have to say that the quality of the photograph is still the most important to me! And sometimes it’s good to have someone that does try to stick to the schedule. All depends on the situation at that moment.
What a fine interview, glad I came upon this.

Quality of the photo is great, but sticking to the schedule is super important too…. I hate people that are late.

Katie gives some great advice right off the bat for anyone who is out there looking for a job. The market is very tough and you have to think outside the box and figure out how you can set yourself apart. The people who are putting themselves out there and giving it their all are the successful ones! Its great to be reassured that its not just about talent, but personality and attitude too.

That is the fitting blog for anybody who desires to search out out about this topic. You realize a lot its almost arduous to argue with you (not that I actually would need…HaHa). You undoubtedly put a new spin on a subject thats been written about for years. Great stuff, just great!
I didn’ think about that. Interesting
I simply want to say I’m beginner to blogs and definitely liked your web site. Very likely I’m going to bookmark your blog . You actually have fantastic posts. Thank you for sharing with us your blog site.
