Alamy Seminar with Pete Jenkins at Calumet Nottingham


Calumet Nottingham held it's second successful Alamy seminar on the evening of Thursday 26TH March.

Speaker - Pete Jenkins - a regular contributor to national photo press, gave a talk on getting registered with Alamy and also getting past their quite stringent quality controls. www.alamy.com is an online sales portal, and photographers should consider using it as part of their business strategy. Attendees of the first Alamy seminar, held in February, have reported back with very positive comments. Calumet Nottingham intends to run this Alamy seminar again, probably on a Saturday next time. Calumet Nottingham hosts regular seminars, and has a dedicated seminar room which is soon to be made available for hire by groups, societies and businesses.

We are holding 2 more Alamy Seminars with Pete - at Livepool store on 28th May and Drummond Street in London on 24th June. See our events page for further details www.calumetphoto.co.uk
