Want to make a proper business out of brand photography?

FOR new & established brand PHOTOGRAPHERS

Whether you’re moving into brand photography or already shooting brands but struggling to get consistent bookings, I can help you build a business that’s profitable, enjoyable and works for you.

No complicated formulas or promises of six-figure success. Just practical advice from someone who’s spent years doing the job.

Being a good photographer is only part of running a successful photography business.

You might be an experienced photographer wanting to move into brand photography. Or perhaps you're already photographing business owners but would like more consistent bookings, better-paying clients and a clearer idea of how to grow.

You know how to take a good photograph. But working out what to charge, how to market yourself, what to include in your packages and how to attract the right clients can be a different story.

And then there's the actual business of photographing brands. Planning shoots, directing clients, creating images they'll genuinely use and making sure the whole experience is worth coming back for. That's where I can help.

THE MARKETING

Websites, SEO, blogging, social media, newsletters and finding ways to attract clients without spending every waking hour on Instagram.

HELLO, I'M MARYANNE

I've been a professional photographer for nearly 20 years, which is both reassuringly experienced and slightly alarming when I say it out loud.

These days, I specialise in brand photography, working with business owners and companies to create photographs that help them market themselves. I've photographed hundreds of people, worked in all sorts of locations and learnt a thing or two about getting the best out of people who would really rather not be in front of a camera.

But taking photographs is only part of what I do.

I've also spent nearly 20 years running my own business. I've built websites, written hundreds of blog posts, figured out SEO, marketed myself, created packages, dealt with enquiries and learnt how to keep clients coming back. Some things have worked brilliantly. Others have been a complete waste of time.

And that's really why I started mentoring other photographers. Because there's so much more to building a successful brand photography business than being good with a camera.

I can help you with both.

"I love the photography side of my business, but I'm also a bit of a marketing geek.

I genuinely enjoy messing about with websites, figuring out SEO, trying new ideas and seeing what actually brings in enquiries. I probably spend far too much time doing it, but at least I can claim it's work.

I'm also a big believer in trying things rather than endlessly planning them. I've launched offers that have worked brilliantly, had ideas that have gone absolutely nowhere and changed my mind about how I run my business more times than I care to admit.

Which means when I'm helping other photographers, I'm not just sharing what I've read in a book. I'm sharing what I've actually tried, including the things I wouldn't bother doing again.
