Mentoring for Photographers
Thinking of starting a photography business?
Perhaps you want to develop a business plan to start a full-time career in photography or as a part-time business to supplement your income.
Maybe you have started your photography business but getting frustrated working alone, putting hours in and not seeing the results you want.
With over 30 years as a full-time professional photographer, having sold well over £3m worth of my own photography now is the time to help the next generation of photographers thrive in an ever-increasingly competitive marketplace and avoid the costly pitfalls when starting out!
I offer photography mentoring either as one-off sessions (online, 1/2 day or full day) or as part of a longer-term mentoring plan to help you create a 12-month business plan and focus on your requirements for development and growth.
In-person Mentoring (1/2 day)
During this 1/2 day mentoring session, we can look at your portfolio to help you define your signature style, along with practical advice on setting up a business, including pricing, keeping records and running an efficient business. We will also look at your marketing and give advice on how to grow your business. Or if you need technical advice, we can organise a shoot together to cover your questions
