Vendor Relationships, the Key to Successful Events. Why I am the Official Photographer for the Consular Corps

 

    Consular Corp Ball at the Austrian Embassy 

The Consular Corps of Washington, DC is a membership-based organization of career consuls and embassy officials in the diplomatic scene in Washington, DC.  This brings a sense of community between all the embassies and other people who work within this group.

Membership Benefits: Professional training, networking with Federal and Local Government officials, share experiences with other diplomatic colleagues, and enjoy fun social events.

As the photographer of the organization, I get to attend all the events held at the various embassies and hotels in Washington, DC.  The networking to meet influential and world-class diplomats is rewarding.  The social events are top-notch and fun.  Most importantly I make friends from around the world.  My photos from their events are seen by many and appear in their social media and website. 

This is a mutual benefit for the organization and me.

•     You receive consistent imagery of their events and people.  
•         Familiarity with the members helps to make natural imagery.
•     .   Regularly scheduled events create certainty on the calendar.
•         Exclusivity of photos. 
•     Loyalty 

I am thankful for the opportunity. 

For your organization, may I suggest you have a regular photographer.  Matter of fact, develop relationships with all your vendors. For these reasons:

1. Familiarity with members and your procedures. 

2. Loyalty is such a wonderful quality for both you and your vendor.

3. Clear communication, someone who understands what you need and when you need it.

4. Flexibility, on so many levels.

5. Enjoy the people you work with. Surround yourself with good people.
