Thank you Scotland!

'Identify Yourself'
a photographic identity by creating your own creativity
Monday 1st November 2010 - 10am-5pm
place: Loxley Colour Glasgow

A big thank you to the Scottish Region of the MPA.
The talk on the 1rst of november was really good to do.
Lots of positive feedback.
I thank also Loxley Colour for taking care of all of us.
The cooperation in the 'bookmarks' idea I did might work out as a new
marketing tool.
Maybe an extra in terms of a free crazy-face image is also part of a new marketing
strategy.

Also to let you all know I was feeling welcome and saw many 'open minded' faces.
Willing to change the industry of professional photography.
Willing to change MPA into a more interactive instrument.
Merchandising MPA as a professional must for customers.
Also the new ideas for the magazine:
- unannounced website-visits and discussion/report by a webdesigner and professional
photographer.
– “doctor” Henk answers questions about problems in the industry, personal marketing in the
photostudio, lighting problems, sales etc etc etc
– New Competition Ideas:
Best Crazy Face of the Year (sposored by toy-industry)
Most Erotic Portrait of the Year (sponsored by PlayBoy magazine)
Love at first Bite (Wedding, Sponsored by MacDonalds)

Lots of support in these is very important.
We need to have the MPA as an instrument that is known by all photographers, but ALSO by all customers.

I will try to be back in January-february to do print-critique, and to do a masterclass/workshop.
This will be coordinated by Seppi.
Even possible to arrange a visit and masterclasses in my studio!!!!!


Lets make our new Slogan for MPA working:

We Are ….....
Professionals
Masters of Light
Emotion
Moving


All the Best and hope to see you all soon,

Henk van Kooten
