Do You Need Your Own Studio To Be A Pro?

Can you make a year-round living using daylight, client’s homes and the great outdoors?

Do You Need Your Own Studio To Be A Pro?

A couple were walking up the drive of our house to meet us. They were choosing a photographer and this was the first time we’d meet in person. In fact, it was the last time.

I was inside and they didn’t know I could hear them, or that I would pick up on the disappointment in the woman’s voice. “Oh,” she said, “it’s just a converted garage.” We didn’t win the job this time.

That’s when my wife Sarah and I knew it was time to take the next step. There had already been other clues that we’d outgrown our current setup…

There was the time when a client was watching an emotive slide show of their portraits in our lounge, set to music, and our daughter strolled through. Or when a client walked into the toilet to find our son sat there, reading his comic.

We wanted to grow the business and work with high-end clients. We wanted them to spend several thousand pounds. And inviting them into our home and garage wasn’t going to cut it.
