About this listen
If you have an undeniable passion for photography, perhaps it's time to think about taking it to the next step. Chances are, if you're listening to this, you know that that next step is to make a business out of it!
When starting a photography business, it's important to note that while there are similarities (you have to have a product, and you need a business plan) things operate a little bit differently in artistic fields. That's why the majority of this book is going to focus on how to brand and market yourself successfully. First things first, though, you'll need to determine whether you are a fine art photography business or a commercial photography business. This determination is going to alter the way in which you choose to do your marketing.
Here is a preview of what you'll learn...
- How to put together a solid operational business plan
- Fine Art Photography Business vs. Commercial Photography Business
- How to brand yourself successfully
- How to market yourself successfully
- And so much more!
Before you can get started marketing, you have to brand. And before you can brand, you have to understand whether you have a fine art or commercial type of photography. These are the key elements of the book, along with how to write a great business plan and how to stay relevant!

Story4.5 out of 5 stars 46
Black and white photography is considered by some to be more difficult than color photography, simply because color ceases to be an element in the finished product. However, it is still an element to be considered while shooting, because color affects what greys, whites, and blacks you get as a result. Black and white can make your photos much simpler, pared down to the basics. This can make photographs appear more serious or scary, or even take away considerations of decade or century.

This book will give you a rounded and complete idea of how to control exposure. The book isn't DSLR or analog specific and covers aspects of both. It explains the three components to exposure, which are ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Concepts such as depth of field and a quick overview of Ansel Adams' zone system are also covered. The focus is mainly on how to get a great exposure from the start, but there are also tips on how to fix an overexposed or underexposed photo.

Who else wants to take mind-blowing pictures? If you want to stand out from the crowd and capture all those magic moments for posterity, you have come to the right place. Most guides to digital SLR photography will overwhelm you with jargon, but you and I both know that’s not what photography is all about. When I first started out, I couldn’t find any course or guide that actually helped me become a better photographer. That's why I’ve written this guide - so you don’t have to go through what I did.

David Molnar was never supposed to be a professional photographer. Until the fateful day he almost died from a head on collision. While learning to walk again, photography became his escape and a form of therapy. But he found that turning pro in photography wasn't clear. There is no Bar exam for photography. He wished he had a mentor to show him the way. He struggled for a decade using trial and error before finding eventual success.

A okay book, but needs more work!
It was an okay book but felt it landed a little short in the specifics of each topic. I would’ve liked to have seen a little more in-depth details of each topic instead of generalizations. For example the business plan part was very general and didn’t get into topics or specifics about identifying demographics or market segmentation. Also, the book skips over legality issues such as contracts and structure and formation of various different types of photography contracts and various intellectual property. As well as photography permits and Location legality issues that may arise in certain municipalities.

Outdated and not about photography
This book explains the basics of setting up a business, but has very little to do with photography in particular. The first chapters do talk about the types of photography businesses and has some hints for marketing them, but from what I've heard from photographers his advice will lead you to fail before you start. The chapters on business are also horribly outdated and you could find more and better information for free in blog posts today.
For what it's worth, I did enjoy his book on composition (having no previous knowledge), it's only this book in particular I didn't like.
