Make Art. Make Money. The Real Business of Photography with Karen Williams

Photography is about vision, but building a career takes more than great shots.

I’m Karen Williams, author of The Photo Hustle and a photo director who’s hired hundreds of creatives. In this talk, I’m sharing what really gets you booked, paid, and rebooked, from pitching to mindset to building a brand that clients trust. Whether you’re starting out or ready to level up, this is the real business of photography.

No gatekeeping. Just what works

Please Note: This is a don't miss in-person event that is also livestreamed on the Adorama Events YouTube channel.

Karen Williams is a keynote speaker, course creator, and CEO and creator of Black Visual Queen, a company that is working to bring diversity to the photography industry. She has worked in the industry for over 15 years as a photo editor, not a photographer. Being in the rooms where it happens, with top people debating which photographer to hire and why. She has had a hand in visual stories for dozens of iconic brands and is also a photography thought leader on LinkedIn, sharing her industry knowledge with her community there. She knows what it takes for a photographer to get hired, and her mission is to help people get access to the information and resources they need to succeed in commercial photography.
