Yesterday, I talked about David Jay’s being one of my silent mentors, and while I don’t have many other silent mentors, I do have one. It’s Chris Becker, or as EVERYONE else knows him as [b]ecker. [b]ecker is a Southern California wedding photographers who takes some of the most amazing photos of weddings. But, that’s not really why I consider him to be one of my silent mentors.
[b]ecker is also one of the many photographers who really helped start the sharing of knowledge movement/idea. Like DJ, he was one of the first photographers I kind of latched onto when I started. Not only are his images inspiring but his business knowledge is amazing. He has completely streamlined how a wedding photography business should be one. I think he should write book or guide to it.
Most recently he’s started his [b] school. A place where photographers can go and get help, learn, share and help create an awesome online community that everyone benefits from. The [b] School officially launches on October 1st, but [b]ecker has been putting up video shorts all year in preparation of the launch. He’s talked about the business side of things, his workflow, referrals, some behind-the-scenes Photoshop work, and so much more. Even if your not a photographer, I encourage you to go check out some of the videos. You check ‘em out over at thebschoolblog.com.
As you can in the photo below from his blog he’s someone with such an awesome personality and has great charisma. Can’t wait for the [b] school open. We all want to get better. You can always get better.
Check out the [b] school trailer.
Check back on Tuesday or Wednesday and I’ll a full report from DJ’s Free to Succeed Tour. Have a Great Week!
