Book description
If you have finally taken the leap with your photography and
gone into business–or if you are considering it–The
Photographer’s MBA will prove a helpful guide in
navigating the often confusing and occasionally frustrating
territories of business, marketing, pricing, and contracts.
Photographer Sal Cincotta, who runs a highly successful portrait,
senior, and wedding photography business, deftly leads you through
“the other 90%” of the job of a photographer. In this
book, you will:
Consider what kind of business entity is best suited for you, such as a sole proprietorship, S-Corp, or LLC
Learn about the critical importance of both business plans and marketing plans, and how they will help you reach your short-term and long-term goals
Understand branding’s elements and how to define your own brand so that you stand out from the crowd
Assess your social media strategy to optimize your presence online, and learn about search engine optimization (SEO) to increase your findability
Tackle costs, pricing, and contracts (including copyright and
model releases)
At the end of each chapter, Sal offers a Next Steps section, containing exercises that challenge you to actively implement the overall lessons in the book. By helping you create a solid plan, a strategy you can implement, and a vision for your business, The Photographer’s MBA gets you well on your way to creating and sustaining a photography business that will grow and succeed for years to come.
