If you are a photographer looking to open up a new profitable revenue stream or a school looking to raise funds for your theatre program, I can help. Photographers have a hard time with this market segment in the past because they haven't come out with a proven system that works every time.
Schools have found bringing in photographers to do their theatre photos, is usually more of a problem than it is worth. Here's what usually happens, a parent of a child in the drama dept. will usually volunteer to do the photos. The quality isn't that good, the photographer doesn't make any money, and when their kid graduates, they quit doing the photos. Pro photographers come in and try to make it all work out but no matter what they do, they just can't seems to make enough money at it to continue...so they quit too.
On top of not making money at it, novice theatre photographers usually have a very hard time working with theatre lighting. It can be very low light. The lighting on the stage is always uneven. Plus the lighting changes with the scene. And getting a good photo of everyone on stage is harder than it looks because some actors are only on stage for less than a minute.
My company, Show Biz Photo, solves all these problems. I provide quality photography and a money-making system that works every time it's tried.
If you are interested in learning about what I do, I'm willing to work with you. First off, IF YOU ARE A SCHOOL, I will come out to your school for a set fee. I will shoot your show and sell photos. Your school will get 100 percent of the profits. But more importantly, I will teach one teacher, one parent and one student exactly what I do to make money so that for every show you do in the future, you will make a good chunk of change to help pay for your script., costumes, set or whatever you need help with. This program will pay for itself over and over again.
IF YOU ARE A PHOTOGRAPHER looking to develop a new profitable market segment, we can do this two ways. One, just like the school program, you pay me a fee upfront and I'll come out and shoot the show. The local photographer keeps the profits and I will teach exactly what I do from photography to sales and everything in between.
The second option for photographers would be a seminar on theatrical photography hosted my Show Biz Photo. The next seminar will be in Jan./Feb. 2013 in sunny Scottsdale, AZ. I'm willing to take the seminar on the road if there is enough interest.
If you have an interest, please contact me at Dan@photographybusinessbuilder.com or showbizphoto@yahoo.com.

4. People will look to you to lead them. In a group setting, you are the photographer and people will look to you to take charge. Don't disappoint them.
3. The dangers of speculation. Decide how much you are willing to speculate with your photos and then don't change it no matter how much they beg you. Additional photos always need to be paid up front.
2. The value of continuous education. Since everyone seems to think they are a professional photographer these days, it is very important for a true professional to offer more and do more than others can't. Keep learning new photo techniques and new marketing skills.
1. You represent your business 24/7. It's nice to be able to put your life in various compartments. For example this is my work life and then my after work life. Unfortunately, as a photographer you have a very public profession where you deal with the vanity of subjects every day. Keep your image clean. I can tell you, I know of many so-called "fashion photographers" who are in the business just to meet a beautiful model. If you are a fashion photographer, always have other people around you when you work. Remember, your reputation is EVERYTHING.
