Review
------
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. --Terry Sims, FHEA Course Manager: Foundation Degree &
HNC Photography, 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,

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,
