"Never work with animals or children..." - WC Fields
"Being downsized was the best thing that ever happened to me, professionally." - Mary Risher
What do polo ponies, dogs, pooping peacocks and NASCAR have in common? This week's podcast!
Our guest is photo shoot producer and editor, Mary Risher, who does everything from acquiring animals to hiring local photographers for luxury photo shoots around the world. From her corporate days to her solopreneur work, she does a bit of everything with photos - research, sourcing and creating visual stories.
Mary has been a solopreneur for 18 - count 'em - 18 years! Getting downsized from her corporate job was a tragedy, until she learned that she could go it alone and still succeed. Yay, Mary!
If you want to connect with Mary, email her at maryrisher@mac.com or 317-430-3767. She can help with photo archiving as well as her other services.
Photography has been a part of Mary's life in some way or another for more than 45 years. She had aspirations of becoming a photo journalist but realized that she enjoyed being a photo editor just as much. Her shift from working as a staff photo editor to a solopreneur came about as a result of a corporate downsizing. That was 18 years ago and she's been fortunate enough to work with an amazing roster of clients ranging from magazine and textbook publishers to commercial photo studios and advertising agencies. She loves what she does and can't imagine doing anything that provides her as much freedom and creative satisfaction.
