FOCUS ON THE PHOTOGRAPHY FAMILY

Do you have a Family Photograph on Your Wall?
ASWPP will focus on the photographers family in 2012. We will give spouses, partners and kids an opportunity to get an insight into the photography industry, and also give you the opportunity of having some family photographs taken. We will do this by having a photographers family barbecue.

Photographer Sara Prior is hosting this great event. Sara has a great studio set up, with a natural light studio area, and a great park next door so that we can all photograph each others family. Feel free to bring a change of clothes. There will be plenty of activities for the kids, and a barbecue. Just bring along your choice of drinks. Let us acknowledge the family behind the business.

HOME STUDIO OR SHOPFRONT?

The decision to operate your photography business from home, should be made only after a lot of discussion and planning with those that also livein the household. If this is not done then there may be conflicts with your family either earlier in the business or later down the track.You must find a way to have a balance of work and family life. Owning your own photography business and operating it from home, can be the ideal situation for yourself and your family. What hurdles are you experiencing right now? Money? Time management? Kids? Husband or wife? Holding onto a current job? Fear of failure? If it’s something you really want, don’t let anything stand in your way.
I don’t have enough money.
Don’t worry, many successful photographers started with very little money, yet despite this, they still managed to turn their photography business into a very lucrative and profitable concern, with thousands of dollars turnover.
My spouse doesn’t think I will have enough time for the kids and run a business.
If you have a spouse or partner and kids, you have to get everyone on the same page with you, if your business is to succeed. Having constant disagreements is going to cause nothing but stress, and that is not something you need to be dealing with when starting a new business. The best approach is to hold a family meeting, and let everyone tell their concerns, and then you can address them with your solution.
This is an extract from the book “How to Turn Your Portrait Photography into A Money Making Machine” by Bernie Griffiths.

His stunning images interpret and record the world’s fast-disappearing wildlife, landscapes and native cultures, and are a lasting inspiration to those who seek to preserve them all. His photographs are recognized throughout the world for their mastery of color, composition and perspective. His unique approach to nature photography is based on his training in the arts and his love of the environment.
