Thinking about Starting a Photography Business?

Master the Craft and Business of Photography

Are you thinking of starting a photography business in Northern Ireland? Whether you are looking to launch a full-time career or develop a part-time business to supplement your income, the leap from hobbyist to professional is often the most challenging stage. Between creating a viable photography business plan and standing out in a competitive local market, the "startup phase" is where most costly mistakes are made.

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. 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.

Unlike generic online courses, my 1-to-1 mentoring provides a hands-on, proven roadmap tailored to the local marketplace. I show you how to build a sustainable brand, price for profit, and avoid the pitfalls that catch many new photographers out - ensuring your business is built for long-term success from day one.

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.
