060 - Even if you're an experienced pet photographer, commercial animal photography is a whole different beast. This week I'm reviving an info-rich Facebook Live conversation from 2018 with Jamie Piper, the OG of commercial animal work.

What To Listen For:

How to start building a compelling commercial portfolio
Who you need on your team to be successful in the commercial world
The four elements your image licensing agreements need to define
Why Jamie chooses WeTransfer over Dropbox for image-file sharing
