Carolyn Potts is a:
•creative consultant
•marketing coach
•portfolio editor
•seminar and workshop leader
•former photo rep (35+ years) who works with photographers worldwide refocusing their marketing so that it’s as professional and compelling as their imagery.
•She provides portfolio edits, marketing strategies, and business systems that help photographers land the projects they both want and need.

Founded in 2004, her results-focused photography marketing consulting practice is based on extensive industry knowledge gained from her long and successful career as a photo rep; a career that was fueled by her education in—and passion for—photography and design.

She also spent 3 years in Silicon Valley where she discovered her “inner geek.” It’s this unique background that helps her clients understand the importance of having an online presence that provides a “user experience” that will engage their own ideal clients. She also helps photographers understand how to “think like a rep” and create business systems that lead to increased assignments.

She’s created over 10,000 portfolio edits/presentations for photographers. Those portfolio edits and marketing plans have garnered hundreds of thousands of dollars worth of assignments from ad agencies, design firms, corporations, and publishers across the globe. 

Created in 2017, her popular seminar Marketing and Mindfulness has helped photographers learn more about the critical “Inner Game” resources that can help them overcome the unique mental barriers that the social media marketplace presents to photographers (e.g., insecurity, procrastination, anxiety, FOMO, and “imposter syndrome”). Big fan of both TM meditation and neuroscience. . 🧠

More recently, Carolyn deepened her commitment to social justice by curating a series of three fine art photography hope-themed fundraising exhibitions that supported an immigrant social service organization and in 2019, two voters’ rights orgs.
