A couple of days ago I came across your website and downloaded some of your tutorials:
The Professional Photography Manual
Studio Lighting
Portrait
Wedding
I must say they are great value for money.
I recently spent the best part of £300 for a ‘Photography Business Course’ from a company in Australia. It was mainly to do with marketing but had various other bits and bobs in with it. Have I read it? No. I’ve picked my way through some of it and it didn’t motivate me at all.
When I downloaded yours, I did so with some cynicism – but I was wrong. They are excellent. Straightforward and easy to understand and I certainly feel motivated.
A few weeks ago I bought some daylight florescent lights from a reputable UK company. I wish I’d read your tutorial before the purchase as, like you say, they did not do want I wanted. I had to use such a slow shutter speed, on ISO 800, (I use a Canon D60 SLR) which was absolutely no good for what I was doing - Jayne Bargent
"It is rare for me to write an endorsement for something. In fact I cannot remember doing it before, so I must feel that this is different for me to want to put my name to it.
I have seen a number of books before that tell you anyone can be a professional photographer, all you need to do is x, y, z. All that happens is that after buying the book you are really none the wiser and a few pounds out of pocket. One of the reasons for this is that a lot of these books are not written by professional photographers. They are written by professional writers rather than photographers.
That is one of the many factors that make this book different. It is written by a professional photographer of many years standing. He is able to write from a position of experience. The book makes a number of invaluable suggestions about how to go about finding work and how to best spend a limited marketing budget. It goes in to depth in many areas. For example how to put together a mailshot and who to send it to. It discusses different markets, naming the ones where you are most likely to find success and others that are much harder to crack.
It doesn't stop there though. It walks you by the hand through how to structure your business and other key areas such as the potential minefield of copyright.
The book doesn't use fancy language to dress up the subject. It is an easy read. It is around 80 pages of common sense and hard earned knowledge." - Andy Needham, owner of www.photographers.co.uk
"Thanks Garry for all your help and I just want to say that your book is a real cracker, well worth the money. You can quote me". - D.B
"When I got your book nearly 3 months ago I was sceptical because it says the opposite to everyone else, but you are 100% right and now I am making money for the first time. Just wish I had found it before" - H.C. Clarke
"I always wanted to do studio photography but don't have the money or space for equipment. Your tutorial does everything it says and has made it poss for me to get started" - H. Webster
"Covers everything about glamour and now I know how to get really professional results I've just had my first shots published" - Beverley Smith
I didnt really think I would learn anything from this but my wife got it for me. It's great and now get really good fashion shots instead of the usual boring ones - L.R. Smith, ancientwoodlands@aol.com
"This is the best how to of the lot, its very modern and does all styles of portraits. It shows photography magazine how tos up for what they are, useless. Ive learnt more from reading this than Ive learnt in 4 years" - John Connor
"Full of trade secrets, loads of different techniques and example photos, the best fiver I spent" - Nick Amis
"I'd just bid on a 'complete studio outfit' and bought your tutorial at the same time. It was too late to cancel my bid and I just had to hope I'd get outbid and I did. You saved me over £300 on a heap of crap because I would have bid higher. Also very good is all the tech info" - Bill Roberts
"Does everything it says on the tin and then some" - Fran Jackson.
"I've been doing weddings for nearly 20 years and still picked up some very good tips" - JF
"Takes all the fear and stress out of wedding photography and guarantees making money at the same time, many thanks
I got an American one first, their oldfashioned style and way of doing things didn't help me at all and they just don't understand the British way of doing it, the great thing about yours is that you really know your subject and explain things clearly and its bang up to date. M.E., Time692 -
