  • 14:00  - 15:00
    We know and felt the pain of school closings, graduation ceremonies cancelled, leagues suspended, and events deferred – if the kids ain’t there, there’s no volume photography. But how did COVID effect consumer attitudes towards photography? We conducted a survey this summer that explored the effects COVID had on consumer attitudes, outlook, and intent to purchase. The results are fascinating and reveal how COVID has effected what’s important to them in context of family and photo, has changed their attitude towards pro photography, and what lifestyle changes are expected that will require pro photographers to adjust their products, processes and models. This session will unpack the learning and discovery from the survey and present the results – many which may be pleasantly surprising!
