Now that just about everyone has a digital camera, they need someone to teach them how to take a great photo.

Business Overview

A photography instruction service can train students in both traditional print film photography as well as in digital-imaging formats. Courses could be provided for students from a homebased photography studio, or the business could be operated as a joint venture with community training programs or educational facilities. One marketing method may be to approach retailers that sell cameras and digital cameras and offer a free two-hour photography course for all of their customers who purchase a camera. Of course the objective of this type of free promotion is to have a large percentage of the students who take advantage of the free class sign up for extended photography courses and training (on a paid basis).
