Barry Schwartz

Teaches at Los Angeles Center of Photography

Barry Schwartz is a documentary, portrait, and architectural photographer. The business workshop is a distillation of the 15-week class he originated at Pasadena City College, and he has taught at the Palm Springs Photo Festival, and in Los Angeles, San Diego, San Francisco, and Salt Lake City. He is also a professional writer, and has been published in Photo Media Magazine (feature profile of Melvin Sokolsky) and produced thirty-interviews (21,000 words) in the ASMP Guide To New Markets In Photography. As a member of the national board of ASMP, and one of the editors of the Strictly Business blog, he has spoken with innumerable photographers at every level, from student to pro, which has been particularly helpful in understanding what it takes to survive as a creative entrepreneur.
