iChat with the Youngrens!

Friday, March 5, 2010 | Posted in Interview, Video

There are some people in the world who are just remarkable. You know the kind… giving, selfless, kind, considerate and you just feel energized when you’re with them.

It is our pleasure to work with Jeff & Erin Youngren. You may know them from OSP, from the SDPUG, Twitter (@jeffyoungren | @erinyoungren) or any other place photographers can be found.

If you’ve ever wondered how you can take off to say… ASIA for TWO MONTHS while still running a successful San Diego-based business, you best tune in to this one! That’s right, these crazy kids were in SINGAPORE when we did the interview.

We covered so many topics in this interview, it should be pay-per-view! Hear about their roles in business operations, smart outsourcing, and of course how using Colorati has empowered them to take their business to another level.

Booth Buddies!

Friday, March 5, 2010 | Posted in WPPI

WPPI is HERE!!! Come see us at booth #1725, right next to Kubota Image Tools. There will be some amazing photographers who we have the privilege of calling clients joining is in the booth.

Our booth is a “NO PRESSURE” zone. No hard selling, no scripts, and no microphones. Just a casual place to stop and ask some questions. We realize TRUST is a big issue and we want you to feel right at home.

We’ve asked some Colorati clients to join us in answering your questions. These are real people who overcame their fears and learned to trust Colorati with their images. Ask them anything about their experience with our service!

Here’s a look at the schedule. If you’re a “super user” and want to download an iCal schedule with reminders, you can grab the file below.

T-Shirt Tuesday @ WPPI: Win big!

Tuesday, March 2, 2010 | Posted in Promotions, WPPI

I can’t tell you how much fun we have doing T-Shirt Tuesday. Seriously, it’s like Christmas in March!

Here’s what’s going on: Stop by our booth (#1725) on Monday to pick up an official Colorati T-Shirt. Wear that shirt on Tuesday and you could win some amazing prizes.

There are two ways to enter:

1) Wear your shirt on Tuesday and drop your card by our booth. That enters you into the grand prize drawing where you could win:

• Your choice of either an Amazon Kindle or Barnes & Noble Nook.

• Flip Video Pocket Cam

• 1TB External Hard drive. (Brand & model to be determined.)

2) You can also snap a picture of yourself sporting our Colorati shirt on the trade show floor and send it to us on Twitter (@colorati). Or by email: info[at]colorati[dot]com.

If we run out of shirts, then you can still enter by putting a Colorati sticker on your trade show badge on Tuesday and drop your card by our booth.

(Yes, you can enter twice! Heck, why not do all three?)

To make it even more fun, we’re giving away loads of prizes every hour on Tuesday! Watch our Twitter stream for shouts about the instant prizes. We are giving away:

• 1 8GB iPod Touch
• 10 iTunes Gift Cards
• 2 Flip Video Pocket Cams
• 3 Totally Rad Actions credits for $99 each

Now there’s only one bit of small print: You can only win one instant prize on Tuesday. We’d love to see you every hour, but it would kind of take the fun out of it for others, right? Otherwise, let’s have fun people! See you in Vegas!

No doubt, these are two fun ladies from Georgia that you should take a moment to meet! If you haven’t heard of Smitten Photos, you should do two things immediately:

1) Set your RSS feed reader to their blog
2) Follow them on twitter: @smittenamber | @smittengreta

Watch these girls this year- because they are going places! Though they just completed their first season together, they are stirring things up and show tons of promise sure to inspire.

In this interview we (loosely) talk about:

• Complimentary roles in their studio

• Transition from moonlighting to full time

• Working as a “momtographer”

• How Colorati has changed their business

• Flourishing with Twitter

• Finding your identity in your market

• Advice for new photographers

Enjoy!

iChat interview with Jay Premack

Wednesday, January 20, 2010 | Posted in Company Info, Customer Service, Interview, Video

A few months ago, I embarked on a project that got temporarily shelved. Today, I’ve taken that project off the shelf, dusted it off and shined it up.

We would love an opportunity to chat with you (audio or video) about your experience as a Colorati client. It’s very free-form, but we envision a chance to tell your story as a photographer and help encourage others toward success.

If you would like to get involved, let us know and we’ll schedule a short interview at your convenience.

So here is my interview with Jay Premack, a wedding photographer from Washington, DC who has been with Colorati from the very beginning. Jay spent many years as a news photographer and is an amazing visual story teller.

In this video, we discussed:

• Photographers who have a day job and make the transition to full time

• Shooting as a news photographer

• Jay’s approach in shooting a wedding

• Discovering Colorati

• His process of trusting Colorati

• His workflow and philosophy of where to put your energy

• What does Jay do while we’re working on his orders?

• How his level of service has been effected by using our service

• Jay’s book recommendations (A more complete list below with Amazon.com links.)
