Tools for growing a photography business
The spring of 1984 found me unemployed. I had been a seasonal school photographer.
Hard work, great pay, but not steady. Unless you’re the boss.
What I hated more about being unemployed, besides not working, was living off the government.
[Read more…]I can be such a dick at times. I can’t help it. I mean well, but stuff comes out of my mouth and before I can edit….boom! Too late. I said it. It’s out there in the universe.
I’m going straight to hell.
[Read more…]When I was single, I partied hard, drank too much and was for the most part dangerous, undisciplined and impulsive. I blamed it on being a “creative type.”
After getting married, sobering up and having a family, everything came together for the better. Much better.
But deep down, I knew:
[Read more…]Life changes when you get married. For better…or worse.
It really changes when you’ve been running a photography studio by yourself. A lone wolf. And along comes another lone wolf. And she happens to be my future bride and business partner.
[Read more…]Not much about photography. Or marketing….or lighting, posing.
Everything to do with a philosophy of living. Being a photographer an artifact. So to speak.
An email from Dawn, a new member:
“Hi! I just joined and want to be sure I understand that photosuccess.com is becoming The Collective? and I am supposed to join there but all of the old material on photosuccess will stay there?”
“Actually, it’s not becoming The Collective….not at all. The Collective is simply a new addition, a series, so to speak. Added onto and accessible in the forum. Everything else stays. Rob”
She asks another: “Got it! So will it cost extra?”

A young budding photographer asked me about all the forums, photography coaching programs and facebook groups out there.
And he asked about mine. Why should mine matter in a sea of intense competition, and in a changing industry.
My reply is simple. I have my own philosophy that I bring to the game.
[Read more…]There’s a big shift happening in the photography world.
Chances are, you’ve heard about studios and photographers struggling to stay alive.
Many aren’t even getting paid. As if shooting and giving away your photography services is enough. No return. No profits. Just a blast of dopamine from the ooohhs and aaaahhhhsss…
But here’s what you haven’t heard:The money isn’t disappearing. It’s just shifting into a new kind of photography gig.

I’ve known John a long time. He’s been a member of NoBs Photo Success as long. He’s attended many of my live marketing events.
He, and his wife are go-getters. My kind of people. The struggles, the successes, the experiences and ideas…all genuine and real.
John offered to run a Frontline, you know, share his story, expertise, wisdom and business savvy with us.
I chatted with John for a bit yesterday. I asked if he and his wife run their studios full time. You know, not one with a great career, the other playing photographer.
And yes, they do. In a small town no less. My kind of people.
