Mark Antman and Alan Carey had long been business partners of The Image Works. They started this photo studio way back in 1983 and made it one of the best in the New York area. It started as small picture house which eventually grew as the years passed by. Their partnership in their business somehow ended in 2001 when Carey retired from The Image Works. It has been more than a decade since Carey retired from the photo studio but the company has been great as ever.
Mark Antman has been the main man of the Image Works since 2001. There were several attempts from interested parties to be his co-partner but he has rejected all of those proposals. Mark Antman believes that only Carey is his partner with Image Works. This photo studio was built with Carey that is why Antman does not want anyone to replace his buddy in the company.
Image Works has been doing so well even with Carey already retired. Antman made sure that the company they both built would last for a very long time. Despite rejecting several attempts to be his co-partner with Image Works, he still hires people that he feels can help him in reaching more success.
Antman has successfully managed Image Works despite being the only man managing it. His successful management of Image Works as the sole company president can be well attributed to his wide range of knowledge in the field of photography. Being a photographer himself, Antman knows the in and out of the industry which helped Image Works to be very successful. It also helped that he has the extensive experience in this industry which dates back to his time as a college student when he was still a part time photographer. His experience in France as a documentary photographer also helped him to build the Image Works of today.
Antman will be the man of Image Works for still a very long time. He has no plans of handing out the keys to someone other than his partner. It’s not that he doesn’t trust anyone but it is his respect to his partner that helped him build the top photo studio in New York and helped him become who he is today.
It is quite difficult to handle a company solely but Antman proved otherwise. He has the right people handling some of the administrative works which really helped him.
