Does 60-seconds on TV still count as fame?

Sometimes TV time is a disappointment for clients, the “my story is worth more time” syndrome. But, 60 seconds on a major regional network news show is still a big deal and not easy to come by.

Working with Photographers

Coordinating a photographer with your story idea or event can be key to receiving coverage in the media. Good pictures help tell the story and interest the readers.

Hire a photographer if you can. If not, recruit a volunteer, or learn how to take decent pictures yourself.

I’m always on the hunt for new publications or websites.  PaperCity Dallas, Modern Luxury Dallas, the Fort Worth Star-Telegram, The Dallas Morning News – Guide, and the Dallas Business Journal are featured here.

Beautiful Images

Beautiful images are everything when working with artists and art galleries. A professional photographer knows how to shoot artwork to look its best. Lighting and a professional “eye” can mean the difference between a photo that enhances the artwork and a photo that is “just a photo.”  The sculpture of Michael O’Keefe, photographed by [...]
