Are you dead-serious about growing your portrait and wedding photography business? Come spend five days of intensive photographic training, business building and shooting with me.

5 days of rock-solid information on creating long lasting success in your photography business. No-nonsense, no hype, no bull, just straight up facts from the trenches.

It's true. You can build a long lasting successful photography business, if you use the right tools and have the right product. Hold on to your hats and hang on for the ride, we're taking no prisoners. Robert Provencher has become known throughout the world for his fast paced, no-nonsense, shoot-from-the-hip and humourous presentation style.

The marketing, shooting and success principles that he not only teaches and preaches, but practises in his own studio, has, over the years, been a favorite with many photographers who yearn to discover and apply the fastest, straightest line to wedding and portrait success without all the nonsense or hype. A "must attend" for the serious photographer.

If anyone can say 'been there, done that' it's Rob. And he takes no prisoners and spares no ones feelings about what it really takes to succeed in the highly competitive world and business of portrait photography. This program is not for the weak or faint of heart, as Rob shoots straight from the hip and does not spoon feed or sugar coat the facts on business success. But you wouldn't want it any other way would you?

Sure, taking great looking images is part of the key, but talent without the right marketing tools, plans and strategies is very risky. The photography landscape is littered with talented photographers who have failed dismally because they did not follow the rules of the game that I will reveal to you.
