What clients are saying

"Thanks to CAPIC and Selina Maitreya for coming together to produce this event. Her longstanding experience was expressed in a clear and passionate manner regarding the changing business climate for photographers - much appreciated. Can't wait for her return."
Michael Lee, Photographer

"Selina provides an inspirational wake up call, a survival guide to stay fresh and committed in challenging times."
Matthew Wiley, Photographer.

"Selina brought current insight and indispensable information, to a full house of professional photographers, about the trials and tribulations of working successfully in today's photographic environment. She was direct yet informal about what it takes to bring your images to this vast market. For some it was an eye-opener and for others, like myself, a confirmation of what we are doing right now ... but, the most important message for me was not to give up ones 'dream', to believe in what one does best and stay the course. This is usually the 'Achilles heel' of most photographers."
Struan Campbell-Smith, Photographer.

What Host organizations are saying

ever-accelerating changing field like no one else.

Her presentations are entertaining, highly informative and informal, and comprehensively cover a wide range of crucial contemporary issues."
Jeff Kausch

"Selina came to APA|NY with the highest of recommendations, and it was easy to see why. She was a dream to work with: cooperative, supportive and the consummate professional. Her reputation clearly precedes her, as there was a not an empty seat in the house at our event!

Her presentation was empowering, generous and honest. It was absolutely inspiring to see how passionate she is about the art and business of photography, and about sharing her vast knowledge with the audience. We would not hesitate to welcome her back for a future program."
Julia Graham
Regional Director, APA|NY

"I have seen a great many public speakers and few are as comfortable and matter-of-fact as Selina when it comes to addressing the issues which face not only the day to day, but broader career concerns of photographers. Her successful blend of personal and business experience was presented in a fun and manageable light. The fact that Selina not only appeared with her "competition," but invited her to join in the discussion, speaks worlds to the fact that Selina practices what she preaches when she talks of honoring your competition. I commend you for this and thank you for your efforts on behalf of APA/LA."
Bradford Nordeen
Regional Chapter Director
APA/LA

"I want to thank for such an incredible evening. I feel very honored that you chose San Diego to start your tour.

The evening with you zipped by and did not miss a beat. Very casual and full of insight. Having Leslie Burns-Dell'Acqua as your special guest further demonstrates your commitment to improving our respective professions by embracing your competition. I think your positive outlook both professionally and personally is delightful. Your presentation is invaluable to any photographer looking for a bit of light and encouragement in their personal growth not only professionally but personally. Thank you for taking the time and giving selflessly back to myself and my peers. I believe you will begin to sense a bit of change in the photographers that you reach along your journey.

As you know ASMP and APA came together for the first time here in San Diego to co-host your event. I would like to thank you and APA for encouraging this union. I am certain this has sparked a change in the way we value and respect each other. I believe this to be a monumental accomplishment for both organizations. One that I hope takes hold nationwide. Thank you."
Kevin Lock
President ASMP SD

"It was great that Selina brought a national presence to our community and made people here aware that it is all in how you present yourself and your vision and not where you live that matters if you want to be successful in this business. We had a mix of seasoned pros along with fresh talent just starting out.

I have received numerous compliments on SHOW&TELL from the people that were there. It helps so much to get the message of portfolio presentation and finding your vision. I think one needs to hear it over and over and then keep shooting and hopefully we will all find it one day."
Tatjana Alvegaard
APA/Kansas City

"Selina's presentation To the Atlanta ASMP was very useful for for our members. Selina's longevity in the business gives her a unique perspective, one that enables her to guide all photographers regardless of their individual areas of focus or history.

An added plus? Selina has a personality that gets her points across without ever being condescending. If I was currently in a position to need career advice, I would not hesitate to hire her."
Ron Sherman
ASMP Atlanta

"Selina is an energetic, engaging speaker. Her program has one of those too often overlooked qualities: it's fun. She has a natural enthusiasm that gets people interested and excited, and most importantly...she knows her stuff. The marketing methods she presents are things you may have heard of before, and they bear repeating. Be consistent in the presentation of your brand. Know what it is that you want to shoot and how it can be used by clients. Ruthlessly edit out everything that does not fit that vision.

Show and Tell was a great success for ASMP St. Louis. We can't wait to have her back!"
Jay Fram President
ASMP St. Louis

"Several ASMP members from around the country have asked me if the "Show and Tell" program by Selina Maitreya is worth bringing to their city. Without hesitation my answer is, ABSOLUTELY!

Selina's program is packed with great information for the young photographer as well as the high-end shooter."
