The Business of Volume School Photography

We’ve all had our annual school portrait taken over the years. Of course you didn’t think about the hard work and organization that it took for the photographer to get hundreds of images taken during that day, but volume school portrait photography is a great way for photographers to add additional income to their business. Matthew “The Body” Kemmetmueller has broken into that competitive market and wants to share his knowledge of that industry with you. He’ll explain:

• How to get into the schools that are right for your business
• The best way to choose the software and gear you’ll need
• How to put together bids and win over the schools
• The most efficient way to order and deliver products
