London Photo Convention discussion / Photographers, What Does Your ...

Last post by Fiona Ingvarsson - December 17, 2024, 09:11:37 AM

We hear a lot about marketing, networking, and consistency in business. These are all essential tools for growth. But here's the real question: What does your photography say about your brand? How do you stack up against your competition? Does your work speak directly to the clients you want to attract, or are you stuck shooting the same images week after week, ending up with a portfolio that looks just like everyone else's?

Now is the time to challenge yourself.

With the wedding season behind us, it's the perfect opportunity to embrace personal projects, book that training event, and refine your skills as we head into 2025. There's never been a better time to push yourself to the next level!

In just a few weeks, I'll be judging and speaking at The Society of Photographers London Photo, Video, and Convention for the fourth year in a row. I'm excited to discuss the concept of Creative Competitiveness and what it means for your business—how to stand out, how to innovate, and how to truly make an impact in the photography world.

And here's the best part: You have the chance to win a FREE full-day training session with me! This is an incredible opportunity to invest in yourself and take your business to the next level.

So sign up now and take action to change how you show up in your business and in your creative journey. Let's make 2025 your best year yet!
