Channel 3 does piece on Ken Love
WKYC-TV Channel 3 did a piece on Ken Love who took a buyout as a Beacon Journal photographer and started his own business: Ken Love Photography.
Here's how his website looks.
Other BJ photographers also are still in the business of shooting photos since losing their jobs at the newspaper.
From a journalistic standpoint --knowing other freelance photographers and how competitive the business is -- I was surprised that Eric Mansfield of channel 3 would do an entire piece on just one person's photography business. I realize that the remaking-yourself-in-a-bad-economy was the hook, but that hook was tenuous, at best. I hope that you understand that this note comes from a well-intentioned place.
Point of clarification: Ken took a buyout. Before that he had gone to part time to pursue his photography business.

ReplyDeletePost on Love has been corrected to indicate that he took a buyout.
