Practical Advice

Anthony, Sydney

I found the practical advice on transitioning to a small business really useful. Receiving that type of advice from someone who has been through the process is good to keep people realistic about how to deal with the change without being a deterrent.

Making it Simple

Tobi

Starting your own business and being your own boss is maybe one of the hardest tasks a human being could have to solve. Matt created a very informative guide which leads you through the starting process of creating your own business and it´ll always be a very interesting thing to watch again and again, as your goals changed.

Matt helped me reach the next level

Natasha, London

I started taking photos for fun two years ago and have recently realised I can capture something special in people. With people wanting to pay me for my work I was struggling with confidence issues and feeling that I may not be good enough. Matt has helped me see what I need to do to get to the next level.

Great Business guidance

Dan, Germany

As the CEO of a manufacturing company I found myself confronted with basic but essential questions that apply to anyone running a business. This guide leads you through all the challenges and offers solutions on how to face them – and it doesn’t just apply to photography, it applies to anyone who wants to go into business for themselves.

Save yourself time and guesswork

Alf, Japan

Matt Granger has produced a comprehensive step by step video guide of the various aspects and caveats that are often not considered by the new photographer. This series helps answer many of the practical questions that would have taken many months or years even in the business to figure out, and helps the photographer take the first steps in creating their own photography business. - a huge help, even for people that are already in the business.

Real world advice

Mauricio, Sydney

While so many other tutorials claim to provide you "magic formulas" for business success, Matt manages to lay out all the steps in a realistic, no gimmicks but completely doable way. If you are thinking of starting a photo business, or are struggling with getting one off the ground, this guide is a comprehensive way of analyzing what you need to do, and instructions on how to do it.
