There are a lot of people offering great advice on how to run a professional photography business, so what makes this package different?
Perhaps the main difference is it's written from a background of extensive practical experience. Peter Eastway is not only a highly regarded professional photographer, he has a background in business and accountancy (he is a qualified CPA), and he has years of experience working as a writer and publisher. He knows how to earn a living from photography, many of his accounting clients are successful professional photographers, and he can write and communicate business issues in an easy to understand style.
So when you read the Photo Business handbook, you can feel assured the advice is real, qualified and practical. And it comes with a money-back guarantee, so there is no risk.
The Complete Photo Business Package comprises six publications. Have a read of the contents to understand why this is the information you need to break into professional photography.

This is a step-by-step guide that will take you through the process of creating a business plan. You don't need a business plan? Well, a business plan is the difference between successful professional photographers and those who struggle to make a living.
Business planning needn't be scary and this publication is an interactive PDF, meaning you can read the instructions and then fill in the 12 worksheets on your computer. The worksheet templates will also help you calculate important figures such as how much you need to earn, how many jobs you need a week and how much you need to charge. It's an essential part of being in business and this publication makes it really easy.
And just in case you're not sure, we've filled in a business plan to show you what it looks like. No, this isn't a plan that you can just put into practice, but it shows you exactly how to complete the templates in your own business plan.
The Photo Business Handbook package covers all the basics for running a successful photography business. It will give you a strong foundation so when you do other courses or workshops, the photography, marketing and selling skills you learn will work properly.
It doesn't matter how good a photographer you are, being a professional photographer is all about running a business.
You'd easily pay thousands of dollars at workshops or with accountants to obtain this quality of advice, so why is this package so inexpensive?
"The profession of photography has changed dramatically and there are many people entering it for the first time. Unfortunately, most of these new photographers are unaware of what is required to run a successful business, or indeed of the value of the photographs they create.
"With my accounting background, I know what they need to do. I have been giving the same advice to photographers for over 30 years and while the nature of photography has changed completely, the underlying basics of running a business remain the same.
"The more people who understand these basic principles, the better it is for all of us."
All our products come with a 30-day money back guarantee if you're not happy with your purchase for any reason.
iPad Users: All of our eBooks can be easily read, but the interactive nature of the Business Planning book may not be available (but we live in hope that it may happen soon). You may need to use this publication on a laptop or desktop, or print it out. In fact, we recommend printing it out anyway - a business plan is best printed at some stage!
