Social Media, the PLUS System, & Strategic Licensing in the Internet Age
Social Media sounds like a great set of tools for your business, but just what are you signing up for? Turns out there’s a lot more to social media than just getting re-tweets, likes, and +1s. Can we keep our images from escaping our control? How can we use it to our benefit?
As social media outlets have become a burgeoning platform for professional exposure, photographers are confronting new and sometimes unexpected media management challenges. Often focusing only on the rewards of social media exposure, many photographers fail to recognize the sometimes shocking and potentially irreversible consequences that come with the use of these platforms. Would you click on that “Terms Of Use Agreement” if you really knew what it said? Maybe not!
Part one of this seminar, presented by noted I.P. attorney James Lorin Silverberg, Esq. of the Intellectual Property Group, will give the professional photographer a clear understanding of the key legal implications resulting from their use of current social media sites.Next, hear Jeff Sedlik, President of the PLUS Coalition, past National President of the Advertising Photographers of America, and a Professor at the Art Center College of Design, as he shares advances in PLUS, the Picture Licensing Universal System, and how that might impact social media.
Much more than just a glossary of terms, PLUS is a three part system that clearly defines and categorizes image usage around the world, from granting and acquiring licenses to tracking and managing them well into the future. PLUS uses standardized language and a machine-readable coding architecture, to make image licenses more transparent, more fair, and much simpler for everyone. PLUS is a system to define licensing language AND to provide a way for creators and users to build and manage license data, thereby connecting images, their creators, and their users across the web.Join us as we uncover some hidden pitfalls of social media sites, what we can do about them, and how we might maximize their advantages. Learn the best ways to get your work seen without losing complete control!

PAST EVENT: APA Member Caren Alpert’s “terra cibus” Photo Exhibition at Camerawork Gallery in Portland OR, 6.16.12 to 7.20.12
PHOTOGRAPHER CAREN ALPERT EXHIBITS FINE ART WORKS:
“terra cibus”
…
SAN FRANCISCO – (May 1, 2012) Notable photographer Caren Alpert, based in San Francisco, will have a solo exhibit of her fine art series, terra cibus, at Camerawork Gallery in Portland, OR. The show will run from June 16 – July 20, 2012 and features 10 images that will encourage you to think differently about the food you eat. For the last two years, Caren has been examining the beauty and biology in our most basic form of sustenance.
…
terra cibus visually addresses America’s new-found obsession with delving deeper into their food. What’s on our plate three-to-five times a day becomes a poetic version of itself, combining food, art and science/technology. Using photographs taken with electron microscopes, Caren has found mystery and familiarity simultaneously. This medium deconstructs, abstracts, and reveals the ordinary in a riveting way.
…
About Caren Alpert
Caren Alpert is a San Francisco-based fine art and commercial photographer. She specializes in food, travel, and lifestyle topics, and teaches editorial photography at Academy of Art University. Born in New York, and raised in Tucson, Arizona, Caren earned a bachelor’s of fine arts in photography and graphic design from the University of Arizona.
…
Caren started her career as a photo editor in New York working with titles such as Health and Money Magazines. In addition, she’s worked as an editor and researcher for Vogue, George, and for Miramax Films.
…
Much of Caren’s commercial life centers around culinary topics. But, she is also a science geek at heart. As a result, she found a way to combine her three favorite topics: food, technology and art, by photographing food with an electron microscope.
…
