So, can someone tell me what a photography consultant actually is, please? The first link on your list goes to a garage and the second one goes to some sort of alternative therapist.

I’ve come relatively recently to consulting. I have thirty years experience in the photographic industry- first as a freelance photographer and, for the last four years, as an educator. My advice is practical, direct, insightful, and unique in the consulting arena. I offer guidance as a professional communicator, not as a life coach.

I might be able to help. Contact me.

I’m sure it’s all good to get advice from consultants, but let me through out a word of advice on my own. Know marketing principles before you seek advice. Then follow your own intuition first. Once you hire a consultant take what makes sense to you. If you find personal vision getting clouded, that means you’ve let the consultant get too deeply into your head.

These things can go either way. 1) Be true to yourself. 2) Know marketing priciples. 3) Do what makes sense for your business and your market 4) Listen to what outside experts have to say.

My advice: pay attention to relationships. You want ADVOCATES not customers.

Allegra Wilde strikes me as a- if you cant do it try and teach it- type personality- in the vein of people who take up writing because they have lost their looks to age, or realized they cant REALLY act. I have yet to find a prime mover in the photo word that has been helped by this person.

When starting out in my photography business, There were a lot of questions and very little answers. The guidance and direction I received from Conor Lawrence was unbelievable. Conor is one of the most knowledgeable people I know in the photography industry and was the key part in making my business the way it is today. I highly recommend Conor as a resource to any photographers looking to get in the business, and strongly feel that a consultation session with Conor will be something you’ll never regret, but something you will try and pass on to others.

For the past 6 years I have been working with photographers as their producer and project manager but also giving them key pointers for marketing and portfolio construction. I am just now honing in on the niche market of commercial photography consulting and representation.

What is a good starting rate for consulting?

Thanks!

@Lise Varrette,
Every time I come home with a new group of pictures, my husband says, “honey, these are really good, you should do something with our talent.” I have even seen pictures just like the ones I have taken that I have taken in stores. Even friends has commented, “wow, did you take this.” How do I pursue this?

I also had the pleasure of working with Stella Kramer. She was great and very informative. Her portfolio review helped me understand the strength of a tighter edit and her fresh voice/eye was just what I needed as an emerging photographer.

I love working with Stella Kramer. She is very supportive and has a unique way of putting together images. She makes you see your work in a whole new way.

i worked with stella kramer too and it was a lifesaver for me. i took a seminar with stella and three other professional photogs (including buff strickland, hi buff!!) and through the focused direction of stella and the informed input of the other photographers, i was able to completely reorganize my website. i think stella’s eye is just so experienced that she can look at a book and in two seconds say ‘here’s your story.’ it really made a huge difference for me.

I’ve worked with Stella Kramer on several occasions and she gives you good ideas about your work and leaves you feeling hopeful and inspired. Sometimes you have so much crap going on in your head about marketing your work, it’s nice to have an experienced mind help you make sense of it all.

I feel re-inspired by all this new info, I had not thought of a consultant before. I think it will be my next step.
Once (or twice ) a year, I feel like quitting photography,
this angle provides some new hopes when I am feeling this way!
