"Rick and Deb Ferro are not just platform dancers at a convention. They make a real living making real photographs that sell to real people. Today you see so much "smoke and mirrors" with people trying to sell you equipment or actions with the perception of the answer to our business goals. It is refreshing to see these two make salable photographs... to share a business and marketing plan that sells photographs to a broader base of clients."
