Fourth Annual 2018 APAG Seminar  – Copyright Grayson Dantzic Photography

Our Fourth Annual 2018 APAG Seminar was held on December 8 and 9, 2018.  It was another successful event for the attendees, panelists and our new sponsors. We were very pleased to have the support once again of our incredible host, the International Center of Photography, ICP.  Our new sponsors were the Phillip and Edith Leonian Foundation, Uovo and Picturae.  Most of the panelists traveled to NYC from  seven states, and we had a full house.  We have almost outgrown ICP and just in time, as hopefully at the new location downtown, there will be an even larger space for us to have our seminar next year!

“KUDOS on a wonderful conference, well run, fascinating speakers and cutting edge with Bitcoin panel. I learned much and connected with friends new and old. Thank you again for doing so much for families of photographers like me. I’m so grateful to have connected with you and APAG – it’s going to be a real slog but now I feel that I’m in a community, not alone doing it.” Jessica Seigel

“Mary, I just wanted to thank you for an a wonderful seminar – what a wealth of information and expertise! APAG has truly become an invaluable resource for me and a treasured group of colleagues and friends. THANK YOU for all you do!!” Margaret McCarthy

PANELISTS BIOS

ELLEN BOUGHN – Appraiser and Licensing Expert

Ellen Boughn’s career in photography began in Los Angeles as founder of the creative photo agency, After-Image. She was responsible for all legal and contract matters with both photographers and licensees as well as being the creative head of the agency. She sold the company to the U.K. business, Tony Stone Images (now part of Getty Images), becoming president of Tony Stone/LA.

Leaving Stone after three years, she successfully marketed and sold the digital rights of the Horace Bristol Archive to Corbis Images. Corbis hired her as its first Executive Editor responsible for advertising and commercial images. She also served as Interim Director of Sales (Licensing). Subsequent to the Corbis experience, Ellen built three more collections for different licensing companies, twice from inception, responsible for all contracts and licensing documents in addition to recruitment and writing requirements for the company websites.

Currently Boughn performs collection and archive appraisals as they related to the future licensing value of copyrighted work or the value of future licenses in matters relating to estate taxes, for an archive for scheduled for donation, in divorce proceedings, for insurance and for use as collateral.

Boughn is often engaged as an expert witness to determine the licensing value of images involved in unauthorized use cases and has also prepared reports and declarations about patents that relate to the licensing of intellectual property over the Internet.

Graduating from Colorado College (Zoology) and from the UCLA Anderson School’s Executive Program, Boughn has attended many continuing education seminars, classes and courses. She has been a member of the Copyright Society, the Northwest College of Art and Design Advisory Board and a member of DMLA (Digital Media Licensing Association) and ASPP (American Society of Picture Professionals). She attended the Congress of European Picture Agencies (CEPIC) over a dozen times. Her appraisals follow USPAP (Seattle 2008 | Los Angeles 2014 |Current through 2019. Ellen has been retained by law firms both small and large, on both coasts and in between, as well as for European and Canadian Plaintiffs and Defendants. She is based on Bainbridge Island, WA in the Seattle area.

LONI EFRON

As a collector and curator and a lover of Harlem, Loni Efron opened ilon Art Gallery in 2014, a boutique photography gallery and art advisory. The gallery exhibits 20th century and contemporary photography from the favorites to the emerging photographer, located in the heart of historical Harlem, New York City. Specializing in 20th century and contemporary photography, Loni helps her clients build and manage their photography and art collections. Loni believes the collection of art is as much as an effective financial venture as it is a means of personal expression. Her mantra is art can provide pleasure and add beauty to your home and at the same time help you diversify your investment portfolio. Loni’s story began back in the early 90’s while she started her career as a black and white printer and archivist for Annie Leibovitz. Branching out, she opened Ilon and Company working with the industry’s top photographers and artists. Her 2nd client, David LaChapelle was soon followed by Steven Klein, Joel Meyerowitz and The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation. As the years went on the list continues to include the “greats” such as the Starn Brothers, Richard Gere, Alfred Wertheimer, Gilles Peress, Michel Comte, and Philippe Halsman to mention a few. Loni Efron continues to archive, organize and monetize photographer’s archives which include images, physical assets and any other item that is in an artists’ collection. Loni is a certified Filemaker consultant and she designs custom database solutions in Filemaker. Her database solutions are custom designed to complement the existing archives to organize and monetize her clients’ businesses. You will find solutions Loni has created throughout most of her clients offices and studios. As Loni wanted to reach every day working photographers and industry professionals Loni created four “out of the box” solutions: iArchive, iGallery, iManage and iInventory. These solutions are for photographers, artists, galleries, agents, producers and prop houses and holders of large inventories (respectively) to help archive, organize and monetize their businesses at a fraction of the cost of a custom solution. These solutions can also be customized.

2nd Annual APAG 2015 Seminar a success!

Sunday, September 20, 2015

The seminar concluded last night as I went to a classroom, and found a breakout session still going strong, and I had to inform them that it was 6:30 and everyone else had left already! I think they might have stayed all night listening to George Miles from Yale, Lisa McCarty from Duke and Jennifer Watts from The Huntington, the esteemed panel who graciously stayed late answering all their questions.

I appreciate all the kind words I have received, and I am so pleased that the 2nd Annual APAG seminar was a great success! Thanks to all the attendees and panelists who travelled from 13 states and Canada! I am so appreciative to my wonderful volunteers, Bryan, Ryan, Danny, Ronnie and Stephanie! I could not do this without the passion and support of my board Grayson Dantzic, Ernest Londa and our newest member Julie Grahame! Our wonderful accountant David Aron deserves our appreciation for his help all year. Andrew Smith from the Andrew Smith Gallery of Santa Fe, New Mexico was a big help in all the pre-planning of the event, and moderated several panels.

Of course, our host ICP helped make the entire event run smoothly, including Erica, Christina, Nicole and Kemal who videotaped the entire event, and I am eternally grateful for Phil Block and Mark Lubell’s continued support, who were both able to welcome everyone on Friday morning!  Thank you also to all the APAG members who support APAG throughout the year!

Mary Engel, Founder and President, APAG
