 Useless... March 2, 2008
3 out of 3 found this review helpful
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.

After reading the book through one time I see all the mistakes I am currently and in haste fixing. A second reading of the book convinced me that I had made a terrific purchase for my business and personal life.

This is the best book I have found yet on starting your own photography business. It is incredibly helpful. He is funny and down to earth and talks about how he runs his business and then gives other ideas of ways to do it.
 Interesting, but not that helpful January 3, 2006

Hi points - Interesting, readable, good suggestions and examples on how to transition from a "9 to 5" job to independent photographer.
Low points - Over emphasis on film aspects (non-digital) of running a business (setting up a dark room and lab...), computer section so basic it's almost humorous, no review of digital tools such as PhotoShop or Paint Shop Pro.
The general information is good for those in the dreaming stage. I suggest you find it at your local library, (sorry Amazon) because it's not something you'll go back to over and over. Mr. Oberrecht's detailed use of a paper document and bookeeping system is excruciating. It seems he views computers as a necessary evil instead of the powerfull tool they can be.
As someone who is seriously considering making this move, I was disappointed.
