Let's Face It...
“Most photographers struggle with the business side. This course simplifies it into 6 practical, doable steps.”
❌
Awkward Pricing Chats
You freeze up when it’s time to talk numbers, rush the conversation, or discount just to avoid the silence.
❌
The Ghosting Game
You send your prices… and never hear from them again. No feedback, no booking — just radio silence.
❌
The Endless Waiting Game
You send images in an online gallery, and clients take weeks to decide — or never order at all.

“How I went from broke in Jersey to booking £5k portrait weeks in less than a year.”
Hi, I’m Oliver Doran.
For twelve years in Dubai, I ran a commercial photography business shooting celebrities, luxury brands, and high-profile campaigns. My portfolio had names like Robert De Niro and Lewis Hamilton in it.
But when I moved back to Jersey in 2020… it turned out none of that mattered.
COVID had wiped out my Dubai business almost overnight. Six staff gone. Bookings vanished. I came home with nothing but my camera, a suitcase, and a portfolio locals weren’t remotely interested in.
It didn’t matter how glossy my work was or who I’d photographed. People here didn't care.... they needed a reason to book me—and the truth was, I didn’t have one yet.
I set up a makeshift studio in a disused restaurant and started offering free portraits to meet people, build trust, and prove my worth. I thought I’d be lucky to scrape together a few hundred pounds per shoot.
And for a while, that’s exactly what happened. £300 here and there. Not nearly enough to cover rent, bills, or groceries.
But then something unexpected happened.
I remembered advice from a mentor—a sales system I’d dismissed in the past because of my own money blocks and “that’ll never work here” objections. I decided to trust it and follow it to the letter.
And it worked.
Not only did it work… but I started making more money from portraits in my small hometown than I ever had in twelve years of commercial photography in the big city.
A great portfolio doesn’t sell for you. The right business strategy does. And sometimes the biggest objections you have to overcome are your own.
That’s why I created the Business Portrait Kickstarter. It’s built to help photographers who are great at what they do but struggling to sell—just like I was.
Inside, I’ll show you exactly how to:
- Price your work so it pays your bills (and more)
- Sell without feeling “salesy”
- Create a client experience that justifies premium rates
If you’ve ever thought, “People here won’t pay that much” or “That system wouldn’t work in my area,” I can tell you—it’s not about the area. It’s about the strategy.
If you’re ready to start booking clients who happily pay your worth, join the Business Portrait Kickstarter today.
Because the sooner you put the right system in place, the sooner you’ll prove—just like I did—that you can earn more than you ever thought possible.
Who Is This Course For?
This course is designed for photographers who already know how to take a great photo — but want to finally learn the business side of things.
It’s also for emerging photographers who’ve been shooting for a year or two and want to turn their hustle into a business.
It’s for working pros who feel stuck in the “shoot & burn” cycle — overworked, underpaid, and ready for a smarter way of working.
Wedding and commercial photographers who want to add portrait photography as a reliable income stream will find huge value here.
Photographers who are worried about AI and want to future-proof their careers with a business model built on human connection will benefit too.
Most importantly, this course is for photographers who crave freedom — more income from fewer shoots, more time for family, travel, and life.
If you’re tired of Googling “how to make money as a photographer” and want a clear, step-by-step plan, this course is for you.
This course is for photographers who feel frustrated because nobody talks openly about pricing and sales — and they want real strategies instead of guesswork.
It’s also for photographers who believe in raising the standards of the industry and moving away from unsustainable business models.
Any photographer who is not earning £5K a month — which usually means they’re still stuck in shoot-and-burn. This course gives you the system to break free from that cycle.
Who Is This Course NOT For?
Those with no desire (or need) to make money from photography. If you’re financially supported by a partner, parents, or other income, and don’t care about building your own sustainable business — this isn’t for you.
People who aren’t willing to keep learning. Photography is a craft and a business — both require constant growth. If you think you already know it all, this isn’t for you.
Creatives who don’t want to accept the “professional” part of being a professional photographer. If you want to focus only on the art, and ignore pricing, sales, and the client experience — this course will frustrate you.
Hobbyists looking for tips and tricks. This is not about cameras, lighting, or editing — it’s about business.
Shortcut seekers. If you’re hoping for a magic button without putting in the work to follow a proven system, this isn’t for you.
Frequently Asked Questions
What skill level is this program for?
This course is not about your technical photography skills — it’s about the business side. Whether you’re just starting portraits, pivoting from weddings/commercial, or already experienced but under £5K/month, this will meet you where you are.
How long do I have access to the program & when does it start?
You get instant access to the e-book, templates, and resources today. The full video course drops 1st November 2025, and you’ll have lifetime access — including future updates.
Can't I learn all of this on Youtube?
You can find scattered tips online, sure. But they’re fragmented, untested, and often contradictory. This program is a proven, step-by-step system that’s worked for me and hundreds of photographers I’ve coached — saving you years of trial and error.
Do I need to have expensive gear or a studio before starting?
Absolutely not. The strategies here work whether you’re shooting in a home studio, natural light, or even renting space occasionally. What matters is your business system — not your gear.
Should I invest in Portrait Business Kickstart before other courses or gear upgrades?
If your goal is to earn £5K+/month from portraits, this is the foundation. Without mastering pricing, sales, and client experience, no amount of new lenses or workshops will fix your income problem.
Is there a guarantee?
Absolutely! Portrait Business Kickstart has a 7-Day Satisfaction Guarantee. If you are not completely SATISFIED and ENLIGHTENED by the Portrait Business Kickstart Program, then contact us within 7 Days for a full refund, no questions asked!
