This class is outstanding. Its a must for anyone who is thinking of turning their photography hobby into a full-time job or even an income stream. You'll gain an insight into what it takes to start your own nature and outdoor photography business and what you'll need to do to make it a success. Perhaps, most importantly, you'll learn the kinds of things to look out for when licensing the rights your photos, whether it be through participation in photo contests, on assignment or submission to a stock photo agency. There is a ton of information packed into this class, and you'll want to watch it again to get it all down. If you are thinking about transitioning from amateur to pro in the field of outdoor and nature photography, this class is fundamental.

Excellent course. Honest and full of information from pricing to income streams to copyrights... By far one of the very best online courses I've ever taken.

I really wish this was a course or even a required course in my BFA in photography. It would have helped better prepare me for the reality of a working artist. After 15 years as a working photographer, I think I will finally have a better mind set of my business. I will be watching this again and again, so happy I purchased this!
