OnRequest Images, originators of Custom Stock™ photography, today announced that Christopher Beauchamp, regional account manager, has been elected to the board of the Midwest chapter of American Society of Picture Professionals (ASPP), a nationwide organization of professionals who produce, sell, edit, catalog and use photographic imagery. OnRequest Images’ CEO, David Norris, will present at the organization’s February 23rd event, titled ‘New Models for Buying and Selling Photography,’ showcasing the company’s revolutionary custom photography model, which enables creative professionals to shoot all-new custom images for every project in 2-3 days at prices competitive with traditional stock photography.
“OnRequest Images is a catalyst for changing the way creative people think about how to get the right imagery for their creative work,” said Laurie Shoulter Karall, chapter co-president, ASPP Midwest chapter. “The expertise Christopher brings to our organization, as well as the 1600 photographers his company has in its network, will enable us to quickly expand our reach into the commercial photography market. We’re excited to kick off our first annual chapter event with OnRequest Images CEO David Norris discussing the value, benefits and accessibility of Custom Stock photography.”
OnRequest Images is changing the commercial photography industry landscape with its Custom Stock concept, which connects professional photographers who want to shoot fresh new stock photography with customers who know what they want and are ready to buy. Nominated by peers and ASPP members, Beauchamp was chosen to chair the education committee, a key position supporting the organizations’ efforts to grow its membership base in 2005 through new emphasis and educational focus on the commercial photography market. As chair of the education committee, Beauchamp will help identify industry trends and deliver educational resources to ASPP members, providing a forum for exchange of valuable research and market information related to the commercial photography profession.
“There’s a tremendous opportunity here for all picture professionals to take advantage of the ASPP resources, which include education, dialogue and professional growth,” said Christopher Beauchamp, regional account manager, OnRequest Images. “Companywide, we are dedicated to helping important organizations like ASPP support the photographer and creative communities, and will continue to champion the importance of new ideas, business models and most importantly, great images that help create stunning work for clients.”
The OnRequest Images Custom Stock photography model enables advertising agencies, graphic designers and corporate in-house creative departments to work with talented professional photographers to shoot new images for creative campaigns, without compromising either timelines or budgets. Photographers in the OnRequest Images photography network benefit from clear, detailed image requirements and easy access to the company’s worldwide network of professional models, stylists and props, to shoot high-quality, custom imagery for clients who are ready to buy.
The first annual ASPP Midwest chapter event will take place on February 23, 2005 at the Chicago Museum of Contemporary Photography. Beginning at 5:30 p.m. with a networking reception, the event will showcase two presentations, including that of David Norris, and a discussion panel of experts moderated by an ASPP board member.
