The reviews from those in attendance were overwhelmingly positive, with one person telling me that what he learned in one three-hour session taught by Todd was worth the tuition price for the entire workshop!\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eI'd highly recommend his book to anyone interested in learning about the business of photography.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJohn Walker\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eFormer Chair\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eNational Press Photographers Association, Northern Short Course\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe most important element in a relationship between a photo editor and photographer is trust. When a photo editor picks up the phone and assigns a photographer, they have already placed their faith in the photographer's ability to come home with the goods. There has yet to be an assignment in the close to twenty years of my relationship with Todd Bigelow where he didn't come home with the goods. He is fully aware of what his client needs. Not only does he deliver but he will give the client something extra. There have been many photographs that Todd has taken on his own during an assignment that were far superior to those he was instructed to shoot.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eJames K.
