The SMUGS Blog

Our speaker for the Oklahoma City SMUG was Scott Jarvie, who is in the top 20 sales with SmugMug and is starting a web site for acknowledging all of the photographers at www.allthephotographers.com.  He started out talking about how SmugMug is a very customer friendly company and how they build their products on the feedback of the customers.

 He drew us into his speech by showing us how to use SmugMug in our normal work flow.  He also showed us how Adobe Lightroom could work in tandem with our SmugMug accounts; therefore, it saves us a lot of time in editing and downloading.

He finished the night with some great information about SmugMug’s Events feature and how it can help Pros share photos with their clients.  This new feature of setting up events for the different photo shoots was awesome.  Not only could we set up these Events, but the Smart Galleries help organize by our key wording. This turned out to be the highlight of the night, as he explained the importance for the key words and descriptions for each picture.

This was a great meeting and we encourage anyone interested in photography to come join us at our future meetings!  One thing is for sure: you will take something helpful away from the meeting.  And you will get to meet some really great photographers.
