A photographer went to a socialite party in New York. As he entered the front door, the host said ‘I love your pictures – they’re wonderful; you must have a fantastic camera.’ He said nothing until dinner was finished, then: ‘That was a wonderful dinner; you must have a terrific stove.’

“Go into the arts. I’m not kidding. The arts are not a way to make a living. They are a very human way of making life more bearable. Practicing an art, no matter how well or badly, is a way to make your soul grow, for heaven’s sake. Sing in the shower. Dance to the radio. Tell stories. Write a poem to a friend, even a lousy poem. Do it as well as you possibly can. You will get an enormous reward. You will have created something.”

— Kurt Vonnegut,

Access to tools is easier too. Every digital tool in the world is easily available, often for free…Alas, the only access that’s harder than ever is access to the part of your brain that’s willing to take advantage of all of this.

Recently I reviewed Lisa Pritchard’s brand new book ‘Setting Up A Successful Photography Business.’ It has become an essential addition to my bookshelf as I find myself continually going back to it to re-read snippets of information which are invaluable to my business. You can read my full review of the book below:

‘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.’

I would thoroughly suggest that anyone wishing to start up their own photography business should buy this book. And at a mere £7.71 on Amazon it is an absolute bargain considering the valuable knowledge it provides. You can find a link to ’Setting Up A Successful Photography Business’ on Amazon below:

Sometimes I like trying on the props for my shoots…. Really wish I could keep this cross tiara but I don’t quite think I’d get away with wearing it in the street without looking like a weirdo.
