[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 429823, member: 11881"] Background The local high school has a local photographer that has kind of become the official photographer. Correction, he is more of a cornerstone brick to the school. So much so that they have even put him on their website directing people there for athletic photographs. His work is, for lack of a better term, lazy. With everyone virtually funneled to him he's not aggressive with getting " the shot" during games. Sure he gets some, but he's not going after it. Add to it his images are soft and color correction really doesn't exist. Trying to go through the school or coaches is a brick wall. The Question I would like some suggested strategies for cracking this market, but not making this a hostile takeover attempt as he is a good likeable guy and a cornerstone of the high school, but I know in a side-by-side of our work I would win hands down - but he is so darn shielded from competition. Thanks everyone. [/QUOTE]
