Professional Photographer Course: Everything you Need to Know to Kick Start Your Photography Career Workshop With Devon Photography Training.

Starting a Photography business is exciting and challenging, to become successful, you need to put in a lot of hard work and determination. With a whopping 80% of new businesses failing in the first 18 months (Bloomberg 2013) it is so important to make sure you fully understand what is involved and plan for your first 5 years of trading; If you charge in without doing your research you are likely to come up against obstacles that could have otherwise been avoided.

One of the most important lessons I learned is that there are many types of customers and you can't cater for everyone. You need to choose your target audience carefully and build your business around them; providing a service they will value and tell all their friends about.

After years of research, attending networking events and from shooting professionally, I have compiled this training session to teach you the most important elements of starting up and running a photographic business as a sole trader. These include:
