From Passion to Profit: Master the Craft and Business of Photography

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 in Northern Ireland to supplement your income.

Or maybe you have already started your journey but are feeling frustrated working alone - putting in the hours but not seeing the results or the revenue you expected.

With over 35 years as a professional photographer and having sold well over £3m worth of my own photography, I know exactly what it takes to succeed in the NI photography market. Now, I am dedicated to helping the next generation of photographers thrive in an increasingly competitive marketplace and, most importantly, avoid the costly pitfalls that catch so many out when starting.
