WHY a client should hire YOU instead of your competition???
Class Description:
Your photos are good! Your portfolio is amazing! You love your brand! YOU are amazing! You did everything the books told you to do! But… you are not making (serious) money out of your photography business. Am I right?? Here is my question to you: Why would a client choose YOU instead of your competition? Is it really just the price? This will be EVEN BETTER than my 2018 Shutterfest Extreme class! There are countless photographers creating beautiful, inspiring work—but today, that alone is no longer enough to guarantee a full calendar or a stable income. In ANY really competitive market, you gotta to have the “”Je ne sais quois”” that will turn the decision a no brainer to your client. Over the past several years, I’ve committed myself to studying the business side of photography, approaching it with the same professionalism and dedication I bring to my craft. Through deep dives into marketing, finance, psychology, and—most importantly—real-world experience (with over 2,000 weddings photographed by me and my team), I’ve developed proven strategies to help photographers build thriving, successful careers.
