PIXWINX:

Reputable Turn-Key Photographic Studios

Are you an amateur photographer looking to go professional?

Dreaming of owning a studio, with loyal customers?

 

Over the last few years, I have met and trained many photographers; most of whom started in a different career, but loved photography and wanted to take it further.  Often, their main obstacle was developing the confidence to go professional.

So, how does one go professional, and build the confidence?

Well, you can do it like I did: Slowly wetting your toes, taking on free shoots, building your experience, portfolio and confidence over many years - risky, but fun!

Or, I can personally show you the ropes, set you up with everything you need: branding, equipment, software, training, marketing, business coaching, photography support...You will be a professional in a matter of months - relatively hassle-free!

At the end of the day, photography is a lifestyle! Freedom to dictate your own hours, your own income... anywhere! Moreover, it is fun! You get to see and experience things that many miss out on - because you are so in-tune with the little moments, the intricate details, the overall feel of the experience! Let's face it, photographers see things from a different angle [pun intended!]

Knowing this, I have developed and fine-tuned a system of getting people who are interested in photography [most of our studio-owners had never held an SLR camera before!], from nowhere to pro in a matter of months! It is simple, effective, tried and tested....it works!

As an introduction, I will quickly run through some headings...for more information, please contact us directly on brandonblack2012@gmail.com, and we will send comprehensive documentation.

 

BRANDING:

We will give you all the branding to use, a brand that is associated with quality and good value for money, catering to a discerning clientele. But your studio will be independent - following our guidelines, but tailored to YOU! To your specific style of photography, your interests, your personality! This is not a franchise*.

 

EQUIPMENT:

This is a turn-key business...you turn the key, and walk in to your fully-equipped studio! All equipment is included: photographic [studio and mobile], office [computer, software, printer]...even some basic decor!

For more information, please contact us directly on brandonblack2012@gmail.com, and we will send comprehensive documentation.

 

TRAINING:

This is where the fun begins!

Our training takes place at our Head Quarters, based in a small fishing town in the fairest Cape. To say that this venue is breathtaking, is an understatement! A photographer's paradise!

I digress...Ok, so we fly you down, you stay in a quaint, fully-kitted B&B for 10 days. 2-minute walk away from: beaches, harbours, bubbly pubs and restaurants...

Over those 10 days, we divide the training into three important modules: Photography, Editing, Business.

You leave with a portfolio of images that you took, edited and printed. You leave with a business plan. You leave with a marketing plan. You leave fully prepared into the world of professional photography!

 

SUPPORT:

Well, here you can be sure of dedication. For 4 months, I will be your personal, full-time business coach...guiding you through the pitfalls of new business operations, advising you as you go along, assisting you with any challenges you may face. The support is on-going after the 4 months - weekly communications...a phone call away...but for 4 months, you will have my full, undivided attention...the success of your studio is my only priority!

 

MARKETING:

A team of graphics designers are currently creating a turn-key marketing program for you, which will be fully implemented by 2012. What this means, is that once you have completed your training, you will receive all the marketing tools with your details in a matter of weeks. This includes everything: from business cards, clothing, signage, websites, ordering systems, stationery, pamphlets...you name it!

Well, that's it in a nut-shell. If you are interested, please contact me personally on brandonblack2012@gmail.com. I am sure that you will be pleasantly surprised by the value for money!

 

 

I look forward to hearing from you.
