Education — 01

One session. One real answer.

A private 90-minute consulting call on the exact thing holding your photo or video business back — lighting, workflow, stock, pricing, clients or AI. No course, no filler: a direct conversation with someone who has already solved it.

What this service delivers

You bring one problem; you leave with a plan you can act on the same week. This is a focused one-to-one with a photographer who has spent 20+ years producing commercially licensed work for Shutterstock, Adobe Stock and Getty — advertising, corporate, editorial, industrial and stock. Before we meet, you send context — images, a pricing sheet, a client email, a workflow screenshot — so no time is wasted getting up to speed. We spend the session on your work, not slides, and you keep the notes. Most people book to unstick lighting that looks flat, pricing that leaves money on the table, or a stock library that isn't earning.

What we can cover

Bring the question. We go deep on one.

What we can cover

01

Lighting & look

Why your images read flat and how to fix it — key-to-fill ratios, shaping, colour and the small moves that separate amateur from commercial.

02

Production workflow

Tethered capture, culling, file management and delivery — a repeatable pipeline that scales from a single shoot to a full production week.

03

Stock submission

What actually sells, how to keyword it and where to submit — cutting the guesswork out of building a library that earns while you sleep.

04

Pricing & licensing

Day rates, usage licensing and quoting — a defensible model benchmarked against two decades of commercial and stock invoicing.

05

Client acquisition

Portfolio review, positioning and outreach — how to attract commercial clients instead of chasing the cheapest jobs.

06

AI in your workflow

Where AI image and video tools genuinely save time, where they don't, and how to fold them into a paid workflow without losing quality.

Real sessions, real work.
