The Business of Studio Photography: How to Start and Run a Successful Photography Studio

Rating:
Summary: Best Book on the BUSINESS of Photography Ever
Review: This is the best book on starting a photography BUSINESS I've ever read. This is for the photographer who already knows photography but needs help with the business side of running a studio -- from how to keep financial records to marketing your work. Lilley explains details of how to develop your price list, issues about whether to buy or lease equipment, tax issues, real estate, advertising, etc. It doesn't have ANY photos or very little technical how-to because it is a book on the BUSINESS of photography. If I had had this book 20 years ago I would have opened my studio then instead of waiting until now. This should be considered the Bible of photography business. This and Steve Sint's wedding photography book are must-reads for anyone entering the photo business.

Summary: 10 STARS! I wouldn't have made it this far without this book
Review: This is the best book! If you are only budgeted to buy one book, buy this one. There is not a better source of information for starting your own studio. Complete with forms to help you plan and guide you through the process, Edward R Lilley gives practical advise. This is my business source book!
