User Ratings and Reviews

3 Stars Business start
A good book for those that have little or no business experience. A good review for those who have had that experience. It was not as informative as I had hoped but I did get some ideas from it.

4 Stars A good basic place to start for a home-based business.
A good basic place to start for a home-based business. This book got me actively thinking on my needs and desires to start a business. It covered all the important details that need to be thought through. It guided me so I would think on my own, not just tell you what you should know or do. I recommend it for someone starting a business for the 1st time.

2 Stars Basic Information
This guide is put together in a decent manner but the information is dated and all could be found for free on any of the photography forums. Having a darkroom also seems a dated topic to be covering in today’s digital world. Overall I was looking for insight and information specific to photography and about what pitfalls to avoid but the best I found in this book was to make sure everyone signs a model release form, which I already knew from reading forums. This would be a good book to point you in the direction, if you have absolutely no idea, of actual resources but again I found this information elsewhere.

1 Star Useless…
This book was the biggest waste of time. It is completely out dated and extremely vague. It offers no specifics about the legal aspects of starting a business or much of anything at all. If you have an ounce of common sense there is no need to purchase this text.

If you are looking for book that will cover everything you need to know about starting your own photography business I would highly recommend Photography: Focus on Profit by Tom Zimberoff. Zimberoff’s book is the best purchase I’ve ever made.

5 Stars Excellent for the new photographer
Excellent for the new Photographer! If you want to start a business and make money read this book. It covers all the bases and gives you all the keys to succeed.
