  THE MODERN MARKETING METHOD

  
  

  The Modern Marketing Method Over the past few years, the rules of marketing have fundamentally changed—and relying on outdated strategies is costing photographers time, energy, and clients.  In this class, Sandra Coan shares a simple, effective approach to modern marketing that helps you stand out, attract your ideal clients, and build momentum in your business month after month—without feeling salesy or overwhelmed. Rather than chasing trends or forcing yourself into rigid funnels, you’ll learn how to create a sustainable marketing system that works in the background of your business, supporting consistent growth year after year. In this class, you’ll learn: What modern marketing really is—and how it differs from the traditional tactics most photographers were taught Why it’s time to ditch the sales funnel and embrace the flywheel approach to client-centered marketing The most common mistakes photographers make on their websites, blogs, and social media—and what to do instead How to clarify your message so your marketing speaks directly to the clients you want to work with Plus: Create a Content Plan That Sets You Up for the Year This isn’t just theory. During the class, you’ll work through a practical content-planning framework that helps you map out what to say, where to say it, and how often—so you’re never starting from scratch. By the end of the course, you’ll have: A clear content strategy aligned with your business goals A realistic, repeatable plan you can use throughout the year A system for creating consistent, intentional content without burnout What You’ll Walk Away With Students leave this class with a clear, actionable marketing strategy that attracts the right clients, builds trust over time, and turns first-time customers into lifelong fans. You’ll also have a content plan that supports your marketing all year long—so your business keeps growing, even when you’re not actively promoting.

  PHOTOGRAPHING EAGLES: TECHNIQUE AND TIMING

  
  

  February 2026 has an amazing event for IPPA Members!  This two-part program combines an online webinar with an optional hands-on field session focused on photographing bald eagles in Utah. Photographer and IPPA member David Breslauer covers Utah-specific eagle behavior, seasonal timing, light, ethical field practices, and advanced camera techniques that emphasize anticipation over reaction. The optional in-field experience gives participants the opportunity to apply these concepts in real conditions, refining positioning, timing, and observation skills while photographing eagles responsibly in their natural environment.

  INSTRUCTORS

  A former photojournalist, David now spends his time photographing things that interest him, particularly the American landscape. The United States of America is as visually appealing as anywhere and when he has time, he likes to visit new and interesting places and find new ways to make images that convey emotions. David graduated from The University of Texas with a degree in Radio, Television & Film production. He worked for two daily newspapers in Texas (Fort Worth Star-Telegram and Houston Chronicle) and then the Associated Press. He has photographed a variety of assignments including presidential campaigns, NBA playoffs and Olympics. David was published in hundreds of newspaper and magazines around the world. Later, he became part of a team at the AP that helped usher in digital photography in newsrooms around the country, teaching newspapers how to use the (at the time) revolutionary Leaf Picture Desk and the NC2000 digital camera. David moved to Utah in 1997 where he rediscovered my passion for photography and the American landscape. He currently resides in Park City, Utah.

  INSTRUCTORS

  About Bruce Hucko Simply put, I'm a 72-year-old independent artist who just loves making BW and Color images that lean to the abstract and that hold personal meaning, artfully expressed. And I have a healthy list of accomplishments. In the commercial realm, I have 11 books that feature my work only, I photographed and produced two National Park Service interpretive slide shows (Arches NP and Organ Pipe Cactus NM) as well as shows for Southern Utah Wilderness Association, New Mexico Wilderness Alliance and Canyonlands Field Institute (12 projectors). Additionally, single images have been published in dozens of other publications, calendars and posters. My prints have been exhibited at the Salt Lake City Art Center, Finch Lane Gallery (SLC), Denver Art Museum, Anasazi Heritage Center CO, and Evergreen Gallery in SLC that also handles my work. To view more of my recent personal work, visit www.blurb.com and use their search feature and my last name to access my page. There you will find 14 self-published landscape-oriented books that you can view in their entirety for free by using the preview button. The rest of the books were made to honor the art made by my students at HMK Elementary School in Moab. Since 1978, I've been known as "Art Coach!" thousands of children in the 4-Corners Region. From 1978-1989, I live on the Utah Strip of the Navajo Reservation, teaching art full-time for the Utah Arts Council. During that time, I was recognized as 1 of 30 leading art educators in our country by the Rockefeller Bros Fund Award for Excellence in Arts Education. That experience led to a move to Santa Fe where I served as Art Coach to the 8-Northern Pueblos Day School and the publication of "Where There Is No Name for Art - the art of Tewa Pueblo children" for which I received a 1998 Southwest Book Award. In late 1999 I returned to my Moab home, worked on private and contract projects and in 2008 started as Art Coach for HMK Elementary. That ended in late 2023. During that time, I was honored as 2015-16 Elementary School Art Educator of the Year by the Utah Art Education Association and a Legacy Award by the Beverley Sorenson Arts Learning Program. So what? Well, I have a great understanding of the Principles and Elements of Art, knowledge that most visual artists know, but most photographers lack. I've always enjoyed inspiring children to make art and have been very successful at it. To do the same for adult photographers I found the Moab Photography Symposium in 2004, closed it after 2018, brought it back for a one-time Encore performance and then, urged by an act of serendipity, turned it over to photographers/educators Jennifer Renwick and David Kingham. I'm a very proud father! All my sharing, whether it's teaching a field workshop, giving a live lecture, writing on FB and as book text is to 1) inspire everyone to make personally meaningful images, 2) offer the tool skills and art knowledge to do so, and 3) to totally joy and be in the moment doing so! About Dave Winegar David James Winegar is a wildlife and fine-art landscape photographer shaped by a lifelong connection to wild places. He was introduced to photography through his father, watching his dad develop film in a darkroom and sharing countless days outdoors. After losing his father, David grew up quickly, moving at age 13 to a Montana cattle ranch—an experience that further shaped his connection to wild places. He later earned his silver wings as a U.S. Air Force jet pilot and spent three decades as an airline pilot, with additional years in flight operations management. In 2003, he founded Park City Photography LLC and, through the education and mentorship of the Intermountain Professional Photographers Association, continued to refine his craft. A 2015 graduate of the New York Institute of Photography, David has received recognition, including first place in Art Wolfe’s International Photography Contest (2007) for Leap of Faith, created in Park City, Utah. His wildlife and landscape artistry has been featured in Park City furniture and design stores and juried into the Springville Museum of Art for two consecutive years 2024/2025. Now working directly in an artist-to-client model grounded in craftsmanship and personal service, David seeks to bring photographic art of wildlife and landscapes into the spaces where people live and work.
