Here is the latest news about Michael Albany Photography.

More Free Portraits!

I will be shooting couples portraits all day at Outfest in Philly. We will be on 12th just north of Pine near Giovanni’s room, the oldest LGBT bookstore in the nation. Photo sessions are free and all revenue from your purchase of any print goes to the Wall Project to save Giovanni’s Room. Stop by & say Hi! We are going to try to put a calendar together too!

For the first 10 people that stop out and say “hi!”, I have a gift for you. Just mention the blog to get your gift.

Many people have made the Free Biz Shots a popular event and tine is running out to register for your chance to get a free business portrait. What else can you get just because you got laid off? Besides a temporary unemployment check?

Just Because You Have a Job…

Got a job? Still need your portrait done? Guess what I do those too! And I don’t want to leave anyone out. As I am not even allowed to to charge a fee on August 26th (venue rules), I am going to pass on a discount for anyone who mentions the Free Portrait day but is still employed.

All you have to do is set an appointment to have your portrait done prior to October 1st, 2009 and I will take 20% off! What’s that? You don’t need a portrait done but you need family pictures done? No worries! You get the discount too! Have photos of you, the kids, the dog and cat, I’ll even photograph the house for 20% off.

You must set an appointment by my brother’s birthday to get this special rate. What do you mean you don’t know Steve’s birthday? Its September 23rd silly! I wouldn’t wait that long though. I will have a very limited booking schedule for the month of September. So click on the Contact Magick Michael page and give me a call or shoot me an E-mail and set you appointment now!

Magick Michael Mentioned on Photosecrets Blog

Beate Chelette was kind enough to do a write up on the Free Business Portraits event coming up on August 26th. This woman knows her photography. She is one of the most successful people I have ever known in the photography business. That and she has met or worked with some of my biggest heroes in all of photography.

Take a moment to check out the article and read more about Beate. If you are a photographer, and you want to be successful, buy her books, join her site or straight up hire her as your success coach. You won’t regret it!

MMP Announces Free Business Portraits for Unemployed

On August 3rd, Michael announced that he will be doing free business portraits for anyone that is unemployed, out of work or in between positions. This is Michael’s way of giving back to the community that has supported him in tough times. You never let him down. Even when he had no place to live and was effectively homeless (granted, that was 30 years ago) someone was always there to lend a hand. Now he has an opportunity to give back and he is taking it.
