Welcome Welcome to the first of two special free supplements from Advanced Photographer. It’s free in UK copies of the magazine. For our overseas readers a high resolution PDF format version is available from our website, www.advancedphotographer.co.uk. Of course, UK readers who want an electronic copy are welcome to download it too. This download will go live on 17 August.
Making money is not the main editorial emphasis of Advanced Photographer and our magazine remains completely committed to fuelling your passion for taking pictures. However, there is no escaping the fact that photography is an expensive pursuit. It’s true that there are no longer any film and processing costs for the majority of us, but memory, software and printing inks cost money. And of course, there’s the dreaded upgrade bug that lurks deep within us all. Consequently, and even more so in these economically challenging times, the appeal of earning a few quid to support the passion is always going to be there. How and in which form such opportunities arise can come in any number of ways. You may, for example, work for a company that needs a photographer for a big event; or you
may have friends of friends who are getting married and need a photographer; or you may know the owner of a small business who wants a few images taken for a promotional leaflet. If people know you are a keen and capable photographer you may already have been offered such opportunities. If not, it may just be a matter of time and circumstances. The downside of such opportunities is the expectation that you will do it as a favour, ie for free, or at mate’s rates. Of course, how you respond to this is up to you, but it is not sound business practice to give away time, creativity and hard work for free or just a small fee. The only time you can afford to be generous is if you can get something worthwhile out of it. For example, some couples might not have the budget for a wedding photographer or just want a few informal images to remind
them of their big day. You could offer to take the shots as a wedding present and you’ll be under less pressure to deliver awesome pictures. Naturally, on the big day you will still strive to shoot brilliant images anyway, because for you it’s good practice and the chance to get some pictures you can use to promote yourself in the future. In this first Profit from your Photography supplement, we cover the popular subjects of wedding, portrait and event photography. Next month, in the September issue, we’ll explore fine art and holding exhibitions. Until then, happy photography.

Wedded bliss To the keen photographer, shooting weddings seems a lucrative option. However, it is definitely not for the faint-hearted and it is a big responsibility taking on a couple’s big day
Wedding photography, perhaps not surprisingly, is one of the most popular routes into earning money. Many enthusiasts have found themselves pressed into service at the behest of friends and family on occasions, leading to a popular misconception that pretty much anyone who knows their way around a camera can cover a wedding. Usually it takes just the one wedding to tell the newcomer that this is no profession for the inexperienced or the unprepared, and the bright-eyed optimism of the beginner is rapidly replaced by blind panic the first time that anything goes wrong. There are lots of different levels of wedding photography that you can go in at, and it’s very much up to the individual which area they target. You do need to make a conscious decision to pitch yourself at one part of the market or another however, and then tailor your business to attract that clientele. Those who venture into wedding photography offering
a service that’s based on low cost – an attractive option for the photographer who wants to ease themselves into the business by taking on some wedding jobs alongside a separate career – will have to be prepared to cut corners in terms of their time and financial outlay. This kind of approach can be successful provided that you don’t provide a time-consuming full service for a cut price, which will do neither yourself nor the industry any favours. In fact the potential for cut price, pared-down wedding photography has persuaded some successful wedding photographers to set up a separate arm of their business to cater for the low end of the market, since increasingly this is where bulk business can be found in these challenging times. Cutting corners doesn’t mean cutting quality, however, and you will still need to deliver excellent photographs and a professional service. However, you might need to take a view on how long

Photography products don’t come cheap. However, if you can successfully break into the exclusive top end of the market, you will have the ability to make a decent profit margin on your album sales, and for those who can attract this kind of client, the stress levels associated with the business tend to be far less. One of the things a professional is sure to tell you is to do your research and to sit down with the couple to establish exactly what they want from the day. You’ll want to agree on the style of shooting, whether any black & white coverage is required and how long you are required to be there. You’ll also need to know details of any ‘must have’ shots, an agreed list of groups required and details of any family politics that might affect what you are doing. There could be ex-partners, stepchildren, people who don’t want to be photographed together and a minefield of other considerations to take on board. Preparation is key, and it will help you to be confident before you set out on the big day. In terms of equipment you will need a minimum of two high resolution DSLRs, and the astute will have a third in the boot of the car in case of breakdowns. The unthinkable scenario is finding yourself at any point of the day

you commit to each wedding you cover, maybe just attending for a couple of hours, and you might look at a CD-only service, where the couple will pay a set fee and will then have their own prints and albums produced. Those photographers in this part of the market will make their money from volume, and anything you can do to speed up the conveyer belt will help you to make more sense of this business model. Many of the more established photographers have made a very conscious decision to target the top end of the market since this is the area where it’s possible to charge large fees – even in this day and age – and to cut down on the amount of clients you service. Those who are willing to pay the bigger fees will expect great service however, and every part of the business has to be tailored to make them feel special. It’s all about attention to detail – everything from your phone manner through to the décor of your premises, the car you drive, the presentation of your website and even your letter heading has to be spot on. Your presentation also needs to reflect the fact that you are dealing with the top end of the market. You will need to be offering the likes of Queensberry albums or equivalent and these

A professional’s view: Brett Harkness What inspired you to first work as a wedding photographer? I worked on the cruise ships in the Caribbean for six years and we used to shoot weddings every time we were in port. My experience was one roll of film to get it right and not a lot of room for personal creative input. Once I started shooting weddings back in the UK, the moment I realised that I could shoot a wedding how I wanted to and not how I presumed that I was allowed or supposed to, was a big moment in my wedding career. Do you remember the first wedding you tackled and was it a good experience or a little nerve wracking? The first wedding I shot back in the UK was obviously very unnerving. That was eight years ago and at that time I didn’t really have a style. The guy that shot all these very cool travel images was not the
same guy that showed up at a wedding. I shot my first wedding using a Leica R8 and Canon EOS 1V, with Fuji Neopan 400 and Fuji NPH film, and I had little room for artistic interpretation. I was mainly preoccupied with making sure everything was in focus and exposed properly. In 2003 I went digital and that changed my life, overnight. At last I could be creative without worrying about how many rolls of film I was shooting; previously every roll was costing me £45 to develop and scan. This freedom meant that over the years I could practise on the job until my social style matched my travel style. Hopefully, now I have a style all of my own. What things have you picked up during your career that you might wish you had known when you first started out? Let other people sell you. There is no substitute for word of mouth marketing.
Networking is key to a successful business, so work hard on creating your own style. This is something that takes years to achieve and I am still, and always will be, continually working on it. I would say that all of our weddings are very special and different and all have their own stories to tell. The key to success is to calm down and to plan it all in your mind beforehand, even if the shots work out different. If you are just starting out, charge what you are worth. Don’t over or under charge for your services, and there is a wedding client for every photographer. As you develop, so must your image, your manner on the phone, your brochure, the coffee you serve, the albums you use. Everything has to scream ultimate quality if you want to work at the top end of the wedding market. Clients find us and that’s the way we like it. Don’t underestimate the
difficulty of weddings. They are not for the faint-hearted and you don’t get a second chance. I know many fashion and sport photographers who wouldn’t touch a wedding because of this unfamiliar ground. I love it, however, and in my book the bigger it is, the better I like it. I thrive on this pressure and try to use it to my advantage, making sure I don’t miss a beat and produce a successful mix of documentary, fashion and portraiture high energy style. Do you have any tips for those just entering the business and facing their own first wedding shoot? Don’t try and do everything. Take your time. Make sure you are given the time and be the last one to leave. Experience is essential. Don’t be scared to try new things on the job – practice, practice, practice and then try on the job to see if it works. If it does, great. Then practice again.

A professional’s view: Andrea Barrett There are three types of wedding photos: the key shots, the storytelling album shots and what’s known as the ‘money’ shots – the photos that will stand out and earn you orders. The key shots are important to tell the story of the wedding day and for inclusion in the couple’s album, but they have limited appeal to guests and so won’t earn you extra money in orders. My key shots include shots of both the bride and the groom on their own (including threequarter and full-length shots to capture detail on the bride’s dress, train and veil), the bride and father entering the venue, signing of the register, the couple walking down the aisle (threequarter and full-length shots), confetti shot, couple with both sets of parents, bride and mother, groom and parents, full bridal party, couple with the whole guest group, cutting of the cake and the first dance. It’s also important to capture shots of the couple in various situations (close-up, distance and scenic shots). I love spending time photographing the bride and groom alone, but these shots only appeal to the couple and won’t sell well to guests. Money shots are those that will bring in orders, and these include the couple walking down the aisle or in the doorway (three-quarter shot), family groups (immediate family and
extended family), stag and hen groups, bride and bridesmaids, groom, best man and ushers, and individual and family guest photos. Often many siblings won’t have been pictured together while looking so smart since their school days, and so these shots will often become favourites for the family. The same goes for hen and stag groups, as well as the bride and her bridesmaids and the groom, best man and ushers. These usually sell well as these guests and attendants tend to be good friends and so will be more likely to order this special photo. This rule also applies to shots of immediate and extended family groups, for whom the opportunity to have a nice family photograph is rare and usually limited to weddings. I always find these group shots are among those attracting the most revenue in online sales. The best shot of all is the newspaper shot – the shot you often see in a newspaper wedding announcement, usually a three-quarter shot of the couple smiling at the camera. This picture is often taken as the couple walk down the aisle or stand in the church doorway, and it works well because of the darker background. It has the widest appeal to parents, guests and for the couple to use with thank you cards, and it’s the shot we sell the most of every time.

being unable to shoot pictures, so carry stacks of memory cards and spare batteries as well as extra cameras, and have a good selection of lenses to hand to cover everything from extreme wide angle for tiny rooms, where you just can’t get far enough back from your subjects, through to moderate telephotos for pulling candid shots out of the crowd. Also pack a tripod and a couple of flashguns for times
when the lighting might need a hand. Expert photographers like Mark Cleghorn and Damien Lovegrove have produced excellent DVDs on speedlight technique.

then opt to match the price, or even go in at a little less. While understandable perhaps, there are factors here which might mean that working this way can expose you to profit margins that are negligible. Consider, for example, whether ‘they’ have actually determined the costs of providing their service, and often you will find that they haven’t. It could also be the case that there
are different factors to take into consideration for your business compared to theirs, and this would undermine any like-forlike comparison of prices. Let’s look at some of the core costs associated with wedding photography. You obviously need high quality kit that can deliver top quality pictures time after time. This not only includes cameras, lenses and flashguns but also computers, software and

A professional’s view: Morag MacDonald Creating your own style of wedding photography will get you noticed and will increase the recommendations that you get, helping you to build the foundations of a successful business. The art of covering weddings in a reportage or documentary style is about setting the scene, gently building the story and letting the action play out naturally. Adding directed but naturally styled portraits of the bride and groom will ensure that the finished wedding album has those ‘wow’ shots that will get your photography noticed. Begin with establishing shots that clearly place the viewer at the event. Taking details and images behind the scene (bride getting ready, in the kitchens as food is prepared etc) builds the story. Establishing strong connection or relationship shots (not just between the bride and groom but close family members and others who attend) will bring the emotion of the day into the story.
The true documentary photographer will want to cover the day without changing its pace, recording the action as it happens and letting it play out naturally. Camera skills and an ability to see the quality and direction of light ensure that the photographer is in the best position to capture the action in its full beauty. When it comes to styled portraits simplicity is the key to keeping a natural feel. Using movement or interaction will always make your images feel more ‘real’ than static posed shots. Encourage your couples to hug, kiss, cuddle or laugh together – the simple fact that their eyes are off-camera will lead to a more relaxed natural feel. Emotions will always be heightened and smiles and laughter will be made more real when your subjects are engaging with each other rather than posing for the camera. In the modern wedding album there is still a strong case for portraits with a little bit of ‘wow’.

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A HIGH TOP PRICE ON YOUR LIST SO THAT CUSTOMERS CAN COME DOWN TO WHAT YOU CONSIDER TO BE YOUR BEST SELLING SERVICE printers. As a keen photographer, most items you need, you might already own, but do consider things like back-up cameras and flashguns. Having just one DSLR on hand for wedding photography is not a great idea. If you aim to generate more revenue through offering an album or prints, you need to get on board with a quality supplier. There are plenty around offering products of all tastes and prices. In terms of cost, remember to account for your time for pre-wedding and post-wedding meetings with the couple. In the same vein, the cost of checking out the wedding venues needs to be accounted for too. It is a worthwhile exercise to plot these expenses plus incidental items such as stationery, clothing and other
sundries on a spreadsheet, as more often than not the sum you will arrive at will be much higher than you had at first envisaged. Pitch your prices at a level that will give you a sensible profit, one which will take account of the fact that many customers go for middle of the range prices. Make sure you have a high top price on your list so that customers can come down to what you consider to be your best selling service without you losing out. Finally, don’t just try to compete on price, but be innovative in your services and presentations. Attending seminars and workshops will give you new ideas and inspiration, so look around, figure out what you are truly worth and don’t undersell yourself.

Every day is a school day You might have brilliant camera skills, but there’s always something you can learn to optimise money-making opportunities, and that’s where top quality training comes in WORDS TERRY HOPE
There can be few photographers out there who don’t need training of some sort, but many try to avoid it. There are, of course, the perennial excuses: no time, no money, no need. However, when you realise that some of the top names in the business, with all their expertise and experience, are still finding the time to add to their skill base then it rather makes the point that you only get to the top by being open to new ideas and influences, and then you stay there by topping up your knowledge at regular intervals. There are a great many ways to train and a whole range of needs to fulfil. For some it might be technical skills which are lacking, while for many more, it’s a need for business acumen that’s more pressing. Those who are starting out would be wise to attend several courses, while others who are more advanced can perhaps cherry-pick a little and take on the training that they feel will add an extra skill to their repertoire. You need to be able to step back and take a long hard look at where your strengths as well as your weaknesses lie. If you can identify areas where you know you need strengthening then you can prioritise. Victoria Grech enjoyed her first full year as a professional photographer last year and is perhaps fairly typical of someone coming into the business from a different profession who is astute enough to be aware of her own requirement to learn, and learn fast, in order to compete in what is a highly competitive industry. I caught up with her recently.
“For me knowledge is king and that’s what will ultimately make my business what I want it to be,” she says. “I came into photography from a background in investment banking, and although I’m aware of how important the technical side of this profession is I was also concerned that I should have the skills necessary to be able to run and market a small business. So, for me, business training was a real priority and after doing some research I decided to sign up for Julia Boggio’s Photographic Entrepreneur course which offered two days of business planning followed by a day on sales and a day on marketing. “I met Julia and her husband James at the SWPP 2010 while attending their seminar, and I warmed to them instantly. Julia is just a whizz at marketing while I related to James, who was also teaching on the course, because he really knows his stuff on the business side of things. He’s such an enthusiastic teacher that he even got me excited about planning a cashflow, which is quite an achievement. They had also involved professional seminar planners to work on the structure of the training over the four days, with the result that the whole course was well paced and interesting and I never got bored.” Other courses attended by Victoria last year included a Jerry Ghionis workshop, a seminar by Jerry’s brother Nick and Adam Alex and a leg of the Monkey Business Tour hosted by Mark Cleghorn. “Mark’s course was really well priced and had loads of great information,” says
Victoria. “Mark inspires me with his money-making ideas whilst working with what kit you have. He’s really good when it comes to talking about promotions and I got real value out of that.” A solid year of training has included being a member of Mark’s PhotoTraining4U site, of which more later, and the ICE Society from Jerry Ghionis, which is another form of online training offering several hours of video showing Jerry at work on wedding
and portrait shoots. “I’ve also bought lots of training DVDs and have found some of these to be really useful,” says Victoria. Training DVDs There are masses of training DVDs out there, aimed at all kinds of different levels and from photographers who are based all around the world. Many UK-based photographers have looked at the American and the Australian markets for inspiration

HE’S SUCH AN ENTHUSIASTIC TEACHER THAT HE EVEN GOT ME EXCITED ABOUT PLANNING A CASHFLOW, WHICH IS QUITE AN ACHIEVEMENT and it’s certainly a way of opening your mind to fresh ideas. The best of the training videos will not be cheap because they will have involved a large amount of resource for a potentially small amount of sales – a few hundred for a DVD of this kind would be considered high – but it does
mean that you need to be careful in terms of what you buy. For details of Mark Cleghorn’s DVDs and downloadable movies, visit www.markcleghorn.com Online courses With more efficient broadband coverage video streaming has
become more of a reality and these days there are some excellent online training facilities available, with more becoming available all the time. One of the pioneers in this area, and a resource which we’ve touched on already, is Mark Cleghorn’s PhotoTraining4U, which for a monthly fee allows members to access what now amounts to several hundred short training films, which are designed to deliver information
in easy-to-assimilate bite-sized chunks, addressing the needs for photographers at every level, from complete beginner through to seasoned professional. Paul Saxby is one of those who has benefitted from Mark’s training, both through his Monkey Business tour and from PhotoTraining4U. “The Monkey Business tour was really well priced and Mark came across with some great promotional ideas,” he says. “During the one-day course

Photography What training should you choose? This is the million dollar question and the one that only the individual will be able to answer because everyone will take something different out of a particular situation. That one-to-one training we mentioned a little earlier will count for nothing, for example, if you went into it without serious intent and didn’t follow up every recommendation that was made. Other would-be photographers are struggling to break into the business and are working full time
in another profession and simply don’t have the time or wherewithal to jump into training full time. The training scene today is so vibrant, however, that for every situation there is a solution, and there is no excuse for sitting on the sidelines and imagining that help is out of your reach. It’s just a case of identifying your requirements and then choosing the package that best suits your time and resources. If you are having to make an investment just remember
that the government, for once, will also be right behind you, because if you’re paying a tax bill you’ll be able to set training off against this as a legitimate expense, while also giving yourself the expertise you need to generate extra income. On these pages are some of the forms of training which are out there, and for most photographers it will be a case of mixing and matching, and of taking on the package of solutions which suits your circumstances.
A LOT OF TRAINING OUT THERE IS BASED AROUND PHOTOGRAPHERS ATTENDING A WORKSHOP OR MASTERCLASS WHERE THEY LEARN FROM EXPERIENCED PHOTOGRAPHERS he gave us details of a promotion he had created which revolved around the theme of the Next Top Model, and by following his guidelines I managed to get myself 36 sittings in one week, which was a great result and it really opened my eyes to what promotions might do for me.” Also signed up to PhotoTraining4U, Paul is convinced that this is a resource which offers real value to the professional. “I’ve been a professional photographer for 25 years,” he says, “and the real value to me is not so much the photographic technique, much of which I’m familiar with in any case, but the business and marketing advice that PhotoTraining4U is offering. Some people seem to think that this is a site which is purely geared up to the enthusiast, but I’ve found plenty of content there which is of real value to me in my business and the quality of the information that’s coming across is really high.” Another photographer to have benefitted from the PhotoTraining4U experience is Cardiff-based photographer Mark Osman. “Prior to moving into photography I had been working in the car transportation industry for 25 years,” he says, “and due to the recession I was made redundant and, at the age of 48, it left me in a bit of a quandary regarding what I should do. However, for Christmas 2009 my sister-in-law bought me one of Mark Cleghorn’s books on wedding photography, and I
noticed that a lot of the locations were near to me, so I decided to look up where he was based. When I found out that he was local I contacted him and asked if he was able to offer me any photo training, which I could pay for from a ReAct grant I had received from the Welsh Assembly. “The result was that Mark got in touch and asked me to come and see him with my portfolio with a view to discussing things, and he then offered me the chance to become an apprentice for the PhotoTraining4U programme. I said yes straight away of course, but as soon as the programme started I became aware of how little I knew: I wasn’t even sure how to hold the camera correctly at that point. “Over the next 12 months, however, I would meet up with Mark on a monthly basis for a lesson and a critique of our sessions together was filmed to go on to the PhotoTraining4U site.” Seven months down the line Mark was confident enough with his progress to feel ready to set up his own studio in nearby Barry, and ten months further on he’s now moved into a bigger studio. “The past 14 months has been a strange time with a number of highs and lows,” says Mark, “but I’ve loved every minute. The marketing skills that I’ve learned fromPhotoTraining4U have been particularly useful as I’ve struggled with the quandary of what to charge and where to position my business, but I’m getting there and gaining in confidence all the time and
I’ve found that the training I’ve received has been crucial for me.” Other online training resources include the likes of the Photography Institute, which offers photographers help on how to move into freelancing. Another supplier to consider is the Bureau of Freelance Photographers and it offers a Shoot’n’Sell Freelance Photography course. Being a member has other benefits too including its Market Newsletter. Workshops A lot of the training out there is based around photographers physically attending a workshop or masterclass where they will have the chance to learn at the feet of experienced photographers, and if you sign up to the right course this approach can add greatly to your skill set. The trick, of course, is to identify the right training for your individual needs. Some of the more established trainers also have a long track record of working with photographers at all levels and this can provide reassurance that training will be provided to a high standard. One of the most experienced trainers out there is Catherine Connor of Aspire Training. “I believe that training now has to push the boundaries of what photographers are able to achieve themselves,” says Catherine, “and it has to be a much more creative experience than it used to be. Two new courses we have created for 2011 reflect this – Man About Town is a course designed

to teach delegates how to take wonderful images for the stylish man, while Woman’s Hour has the same motivation in mind, namely how to style a fantastic shoot and leave with amazing images. “Our business seminars are constantly evolving too. Marketing training now needs to be a lot broader as the marketplace is constantly changing and evolving. Social networking now plays a huge role in how today’s businesses develop and how quickly that happens, and this emerging area will play a key role within our seminars during 2011. “The chief advantage of training is that it can save you both time and money.

Tapping into the knowledge of others is the key to success.” Another resource which might be worth looking at is the Royal Photographic Society. While many of the workshops offered under the umbrella of the RPS might be aimed at enthusiasts there are also several which definitely have a professional angle, and these are all open to non-members as well. Full details can be found in the workshop section of the RPS website. Career courses While many workshops are just a day or two in length, there are others which are designed to do far more, and to effectively introduce the photographer to the profession pretty much from scratch. The Aspire Bespoke
Course, which involves a number of separate days spread over a full year, falls into this category, while Barrett & Coe is another provider of courses which are designed to set the beginner up. “We come at things from a slightly different perspective,” says Andrew Coe, one of the founders of the company. “Instead of taking people who are good photographers and trying to teach them marketing techniques, we often end up working with people from other areas of business who are strong in terms of organisation and promotion, and we teach them how to become photographers and the people skills that go with that.” Course numbers are kept low and there is plenty of opportunity to assist on live jobs to gain experience, as well as information designed to help those new to the industry set up their businesses in a solid and sustainable way.
Qualifications Another way of showing that you have what it takes to offer a high level of service as a photographer is to achieve qualifications, and these are available from a number of different sources. For formal qualifications, look to an organisation such as The Open College of the Arts. It offers a number of courses covering areas such as landscape, people, social documentary and how to put a portfolio together. Details of the opportunities available can
be found on the OCA website. Don’t forget that many of the industry bodies, such as the SWPP, the BIPP and the MPA, also offer distinctions and qualifications, along with courses and workshops, and these offer a high standard of training and mentorship, along with a set of letters that show you have reached a standard of excellence. Once again you’ll need to look at the relevant websites to get a picture of what’s on offer and don’t be afraid to get in touch.

Event horizons Photographing people while they enjoy a night out is a potentially lucrative way to earn money, so you need to get organised and develop your people skills
Event photography is part and parcel of office Christmas parties, school proms and sporting events. You have probably experienced event photography for yourself but perhaps not thought about it as a way of generating money with your own camera – until now. The premise is simple: you shoot people doing something such as playing football or riding horses, or while they’re dressed up on a posh night out with their friends, and you offer prints for sale, whether on the night or online afterwards. With the right event, workflow and photographic skills, this form of photography can be profitable. But it’s not easy, and even less so in these times. There are stories around about how lucrative this area can be but many of these tales date back to times when people were less focused on cutting their spending. The result of this has been increasing numbers of photographers being encouraged into a business they might not understand and believing that the potential is there to earn a healthy living with the minimum of investment and training. The tough fact of life is that while it is still possible to do well out of event photography, you have to research your market carefully. To be frank the skills required are every bit as demanding as any other area of photography. Before you can venture any further you have to consider the type of event you aim to shoot and then gear up accordingly.
If, for example, you like the idea of selling pictures of polo players in action you will need 400mm lens. If you aspire to shoot people glammed up at black tie events, you’ll need lighting and a background system. Look at The Flash Centre’s enormous range of products that features all you need to set up a top quality mains flash studio. If investing in a full studio is not possible right now, The Flash Centre also has a rental service. The website is www.theflashcentre.com. And that, unfortunately, is just the beginning. The essence of this type of photography is selling prints on the spot. So, you need a way of getting images to the computer, a printer and mains electricity. When we say printer, it’s not the sort of inkjet printer that you would use for your exhibition prints. That sort of printer is too slow and not built to withstand high throughput. Specialist event photographers use high capacity dye-sublimation printers and these you can hire. See our contacts panel for details. Here, we take a close look at this challenging aspect of photography through the eyes of expert event photographer Mike Weeks. He is the man behind the Event Photographer Society, a registered, not-for-profit PLC that aims to provide a set of ethics and code of conduct for the industry, while also providing useful forums, feedback on training and a point of reference for customers looking to book event photographers.

Networking with other like-minded photographers is an invaluable tool and this can often help you discover niches that you may have previously missed
Managing cashflow How do you know if investing in kit is going to generate profit? This is crucial for any photographer looking to keep an eye on the cashflow and I use a simple formula to calculate whether something is worth investing in. Quite simply, if I sell something at £15 and I’m making £10 profit on that, I’ve got to be selling an extra ten of those items as a direct result of my investment to raise every £100 of extra profit. So if I buy a new flashgun with extra features for £300, will that give me an additional 30 sales in a reasonable amount of time – which is three to six months for a smaller item and maybe up to a year for a major item? I now do this with every item that I wish to purchase, but I also maintain a list of items nearing the end of their working life or those that I think would make a great addition to my kit. A good
example of a camera on my wish list is the Nikon D3s which, at about £3500, I can’t currently justify. On the plus side it would certainly increase potentially saleable images at low light events (such as dances or indoor horse trials) but not by enough over my current D700 to mean that I must have it. One of the major areas that photographers often forget about is training. A day’s training on a one-to-one basis might cost £350 – an extra 35 items sold by my previous calculation – but then the skills you potentially pick up will be with you for life. The extra knowledge you’ve acquired might also mean that your product is better, so you can also raise your prices, which further reduces the extra items you need to sell. I recently spent time with Paul Rogers of Pellier Photography to look at what he was doing with black

backgrounds, and I came away fired up with new ideas and extra skills that I now anticipate will make me more money. However, I still had to consider whether they were the right skills for me to be investing in before I took the plunge. At a recent seminar Paul was asked what would be the best thing that you could spend £200 on to improve your event photography business. His answer, to the surprise of some, was phone calls. What he was saying was that you need to get out there and meet your customers because ultimately that’s where you get your work from. Identify new clients but don’t forget to catch up with people who you already know and keep them informed about your new line of work. Networking with other photographers doing a similar job is an invaluable tool that will help you identify niches that you have previously missed. The great thing about being a member of an organisation such as the Event Photographer Society is that it gives you the
chance to talk to photographers in a similar line of work and go on to develop ideas. From the networking also comes ideas about product. For example, I really don’t like putting together photo key rings on site, but I do have the equipment with me and if that is what the customer wants then it takes relatively few sales to justify keeping some in. I need to sell just ten key rings to pay for the cutter and this will last a long time, so it’s worth the investment in my case: maybe there is another target audience that you could be hitting with a particular product or service. Master the workflow Event photography is broken down into a number of components. There is the capture phase, where you actually take the photographs and then work out the best way of getting them to your computer using such methods as wireless transmission. The images then need to be displayed to customers so that they can select which ones they

Photography A professional’s view: Cosmic Photography
It’s important that you establish an efficient workflow so that customers are able to view and choose their images at an appropriate time during the event
would like and then you need to close the sale, and finally print out the images. This three-stage process is known as your event workflow, and the major element in this is the software that is used to display, enhance and progress the complete transaction. There is, however, no one simple way of working and perhaps it is easier to consider the types of events that you might be covering and to look at the kind of solutions that may or may not work in each situation. Contact sheets Printing contact sheets can work, but done wrongly or used at the wrong type of event and the only person getting rich will be the dealer that sold you the media. If you are going to print everything it is because you either have a very small time frame in which to sell the images or because you know that this type of event has a high sales rate or, preferably, a combination of the two. This method is particularly suited to such things as a weekend-long football
tournament where you have a large number of teams and both group and individual images have been taken of all the participants. Consider seven-aside, where you generally have a team of eight or nine players. This means that if you print a picture of everyone plus three to four of the whole team, you will have costs of about £5. This will mean that if you have got your prices right the sale of one image will give you a profit. Another area where this approach can work is where there is only a short window of opportunity to photograph your audience, such as before they go in for dinner. In a case such as this you could select the best images of all of those attending the function while they were having their meal and then have these prints ready for when they come out. In other words you’re not actually printing all the images you’ve taken but you will be printing images of everyone who is there and who might be interested in buying a print. There are certain events such as motocross where 30 or 40
Cosmic Photography has been established for over five years and has been offering event photography as part of its mix for most of that time. “I started doing events about six months after launching the business,” says proprietor Paul Spiers. “Starting out solely with weddings was tough because the work didn’t actually turn up until several months after the booking had been made, while events are very often booked quite close to when they are going to happen, almost as an afterthought sometimes. “Because of this, event work is ideal for a new start up as money starts to roll in much faster than with weddings. “Events now make up about 75 per cent of my jobs and about 50 per cent of my business in terms of revenue. Per number of jobs, I do more events than anything else but on the whole, per job, a wedding is more lucrative.” Events are quite seasonal, with school proms lasting for around ten weeks from early May until mid-July, while events such as football, motocross and equestrian take place most of the year, with perhaps just a two to threemonth break. “August is probably the worst month for event photographers with very little taking place,” says Paul. School proms have become a big part of the business, both in terms of revenue and number of jobs, and they are increasing in popularity. “When I first started photographing school proms they were the exception rather than the norm,” says Paul, “but the reverse is now true. For many students this is the first occasion they have dressed up in black ties and ballgowns, and the next time will very often be their wedding day. Because of this many of them go to great lengths.” Moving into this area has not come without investment and Paul was one of the
first photographers in the UK to purchase a Mitsubishi Click IT5000, which offers a dedicated software/computer/ printer package. “This cost over £3000, but the price has fallen over the last four years and the latest version can be purchased for £2300. “I take along an extensive range of backdrops with me, which include plain white, black and grey, mottled patterns and painted scenics. Large group shots are popular at proms so I have a 5m-wide drop which, space permitting, we can set up at the venue.” In terms of the calendar and the skill set, the overlap between social and event photography works fairly well. “Most events are evenings and weekends,” says Paul, “so for a studio owner who does portrait work on week days, the chance to top up that income for an extra couple of hours work on an evening, is very welcome. However, most sporting events are at weekends and they can clash with the wedding season. “There are some events where I am paid in advance to deliver a certain level of service or a certain number of prints, such as corporate events and awards presentations, but for most events we are not being paid to attend and so need to rely on print sales for income. Communication skills are important because you need to sell prints to earn money. “Controlling your speed is probably one of the most important things to learn when tackling event photography, because if people have too long to wait, they will walk out. The most significant factor in making an event successful from a financial point of view is increasing the average order value. You can’t get more clients because there are only so many guests, but if you can up-sell people from buying one photo, which is all anyone intends to do, to buying two, you double your takings.” www.cosmicphotography.co.uk

It’s a good idea to create dedicated viewing stations so that potential customers can see a much larger preview of the image
competitors will be involved, and at the completion of their class or round they will make their way to the sales point. This large volume of customers is too great for them all to have access to individual viewing stations or to use manned sales points, so if you can output good-sized contact sheets using generic inks and cheap output paper, it means that very soon after the images have been delivered by the photographers, the competitors will be able to see their pictures and hopefully place their orders. Viewing stations An advantage of creating dedicated viewing stations over using contact prints is that the customer can see a much larger preview of the image on screen without having to wait for a sales point to become available. The big disadvantage is that if the customer is not computer savvy, they may not understand
what to do and they will often view and say they will come back later. It is critical that for every three or four viewing stations you have somebody available to help customers. If the photographers are not busy, they will need to pitch in and help. Viewing stations are best when there is a steady flow of customers but the volume is not so great that ten people are fighting to get to use the viewing station. The system works well at events where there is a constant flow of competitors who are competing on an individual basis, such as at an equestrian meeting. Viewing station software may be just as simple as the customer finding their images on a portable tablet computer such as an iPad and writing down their reference details on paper, right up to fully professional onscreen editing and full shopping basket functionality. Do not
worry if there is a bit of a queue as this tends to make the other customers think that there is something worth having. At a social event it is paramount that the photographer manages the queuing for both the picture taking and the sales point. If you’ve got an assistant working with you, if it gets particularly busy, it is a relatively simple matter to rope the assistant in to become a second sales point. Slideshows and large screen showings of the images all raise the level of interest and should be considered an essential part of the sales point. Software choice If you decide to take this very seriously, you can consider investing in specialist events software for a computer. Many photographers make the wrong decision in their choice of software because they choose
Picasa user: Paul Rogers Experienced event photographer Paul Rogers uses this simple software package, but has good reasons for his choice. “Like many event photographers I bought all the kit suggested, including expensive equipment and software,” he says. “After I had been operating for a short while I took a step back to consider my workflow and asked myself how it could be streamlined and made more efficient. “Based on what I found I made one or two decisions. First I was adamant we would specialise in one area of events and not
spread ourselves too thinly. Second I decided low key was definitely the route we would take, as this would give us a unique selling point from our competitors. “We were soon taking in more bookings than we could cope with so I needed more staff, particularly printer staff. I therefore needed a piece of software that was easy to use, very easy to train people on, and cheap. Picasa ticked all these boxes. “My main printer assistant has tried several pieces of software including Picasa, iPhoto,
Lightroom, Adobe Bridge and Aperture, and every time we keep coming back to Picasa. By concentrating solely on social event photography our software requirements are less demanding than outside sports eventers. Our basic needs are options to crop an image, lighten or darken an image, convert to black & white or sepia, and then print. Very basic, but Picasa does all this and it’s free. “One pitfall is that Picasa can’t work with green screen, but we never use green screen so that is not a problem for us.”

what they like to use rather than thinking about how usable it will be for the clients. On top of this, the software that is used to import, organise and enhance the images may not be the same as the software used to display the images to the customers. The other point to consider is that the majority of specialised event photography software is Windows only, which leaves just the much more generic imaging programs for use on Macs. Most event software does not originate from the UK, so support may not be available when you really need it. The closest that there is to an all-in-one software solution is the Express Digital range of software which goes beyond simple image presentation and printing and now includes such things as chromakey and
montage prints. There are also a couple of complete systems available, the Mitsubishi Click systems and the In Touch system from Photomart, which give similar functionality. At the other end of the scale you have photographers successfully using Picasa which is free; it just goes to prove that it’s not what you use, but knowing how to use it that is important. One other piece of software that is used by many is Adobe Lightroom which allows those quick retouches (you have little time at events) and fast processing, while other photographers have optimised Photoshop to suit their needs. Every event photographer should aim to get the image right in-camera, which frees up the sales people from having to do lots of editing. However, if ten seconds spent improving the image via keyboard shortcuts or a quick straighten and crop is the difference between a sale or not, then the extra effort is worth it.
