So many people have asked me over the years about how I got into photography, how I create the images I do, what it takes to survive and prosper in the hugely competitive field that is wedding & portrait photography. Generally they ask this with a view to perhaps taking the plunge themselves. Well, I've been going for over 10 years and still going strong (touch wood) so I must be doing something right. And one thing I can say is that it definitely ain't easy! And to jump into the social photography market, particularly in this climate, and make a good go of it...yes it is possible but it's risky. You need skill, you need experience and above all else, you need to be fully informed. Certainly before you even dream about leaving the day job.
So I've devised a Mentoring Session, whereby I can give you a little taster and perhaps open your eyes just that little bit wider. I will offer my insight into the wedding photography industry (as I see it), share my experience, my picture taking know-how, tricks of the trade and inform you as far as possible about the leap you're about to make. It never ceases to amaze me when I interview potential new team members, particularly recent photography graduates, how overconfident, underprepared and misinformed they are about the realities of running and sustaining a profitable social photography business. My mentoring sessions will go a long way to address that. Feel free to comment :-)
