SWPP Business School day 1

I went to the Society of Wedding and Portrait Photographers, (SWPP), Business School today. It was the first of 2 days, aimed at giving photographers a chance to listen to various speakers, all of whom give you ideas to develop business strategies, improve business acumen and
ultimately a head start from a business perspective. It was an opportunity to listen, take copious notes and to consume the advice and guideance given. Some of the points are relevant to me now, some will be of use in a few months, others in a year and the rest will be parked for when I need them. The line up of speakers were not all familiar to me. I had heard of Catherine Connor and Xander Casey, both of whom gave a great brief, full of enthusiasm and pertinent business information, but by far the best presentation of the day was by Mark Leightley who was talking about being in search of success. I had never heard of this photographer before but, the presentation he gave was very informative, given in a lively and interesting manner,
keeping the audience enthused throughout. Now to consolidate the days notes and prepare for tomorrow!
