Business - Development - Community

You started your commercial photography or video business because you have a passion for the craft.

You didn't want to be working a job you hate, it's about doing work you love NOW, so you can thrive and inspire the next generation.

But it turns out there's another craft you also need to master to be successful - business.

If you're like many photographers and videographers, you're a solo operator trying to do it ALL.

Is This You?

• You struggle to identify & reach your ideal clients

• You're not charging properly for all the work you do

• Social media is not bringing in enquiries

• You're being undercut on price by the "competition"

• You don't have consistent enquiries

• You're chasing invoice payments

• Your cashflow worries put pressure on all areas of your life

• Clients are continually negotiating on price

• You don’t feel confident to put yourself out there and shout about your work

• You don’t enjoy talking about and asking for money

About the Organiser

Dan Barker is a former aerospace engineer who now runs a photography and video production business in Ledbury, Herefordshire.

I always wanted to run my own business and after picking up my first camera in 2012, I made the leap in 2018 to go full-time as a photographer. I've since expanded the business to provide video production services too.

When I changed careers to start my business, a big part of my motivation was wanting to set a good example for my children - to show them anything is possible and that they don't have to put up with working in a job they hate.

Photography got me out of that job

I now have five children, all home-schooled, so I understand the balancing act of a busy home life and running a business.

For me, the craft of marketing and running a business is something I love and I know that's not the case for most people in our industry. I'm passionate about helping others succeed and I believe I can add value to photographers and videographers who find the business side of things a challenge.

I've invested in my personal development over the years and I believe it's the best investment anyone can make.
