We offer a very special dedication to Elyse Weissberg (April 9, 1956–July 21, 2001). Elyse was one of the greatest consultants of our time. Her knowledge and words will always be remembered.

We highly recommend Elyse’s book, Successful Self-Promotion for Photographers: Expose Yourself Properly (New York: Watson-Guptill Publications, 2004). Before you read anything—even The Photographer’s Survival Guide—you must read Elyse’s book.
