Press Reviews

"A very good book using the input of working professionals well. I can thoroughly recommend it both to students and many professionals who would find it very useful in their business practice." City & Islington College

"By the end of reading Setting Up A Successful Photography Business I found it to be very informative, helpful and inspiring, with things that I have missed or did not fully understand before. It is presented clearly and written in easy to understand terminologies for anyone that are looking into a career of commercial or editorial photography, but the business discipline is universal to all. I think this book has enough information to get you off the starting line, and pointing you in the right directions, saving you a lot of time what and where you should go and do next." Sunny Lau, Director and Photographer, www.forty-forty.com/

"I was unsure of where to begin in setting up my own business before but after reading through Setting Up A Successful Photography Business I'm much more confident in knowing the steps I need to take. It's an extremely informative, easy to read book with varied topics covering all areas of starting up a business from the legal side of your career, financing and approaching companies/agencies to building your portfolio and marketing your business. The well-arranged chapters also make it effortless to jump to a particular section if need be. The inclusion of tips and quotes from working photographers adds depth to the book by giving genuine and up to date advice which I found to be very useful. I'd definitely recommend it to anyone wanting to make a career out of photography." Siobhan Stewart, Photographer (www.siobhanstewart.com)
