Why Most Wedding Photography Courses Fail to Get You Paid Work

The Photography Education Problem

Every year, thousands of photographers invest in courses hoping to transform their careers. Yet most end up exactly where they started. Why?

The Theory Trap

Most courses focus on theory - camera settings, lighting diagrams, composition rules. While important, this knowledge alone does not get you paid work. What is missing?

Practical application

Portfolio building

Client acquisition

Business fundamentals

The Gear Obsession

Many courses subtly (or not so subtly) suggest that better gear equals better photos. This leads photographers down an expensive path that does not improve their actual work or income.

Missing the Business Side

Photography is a business. Yet most courses ignore:

Pricing strategies

Client communication

Contract essentials

Marketing fundamentals

What Actually Works

The photographers who succeed share common traits:

They practice deliberately - Not just shooting, but analyzing and improving

They build relationships - With clients, vendors, and other photographers

They invest in feedback - Getting critiques from professionals

They focus on business - Understanding that great photos need great marketing

The InFocus Difference

Our programs are built on these principles. Every lesson includes practical assignments with real feedback. Our 2-Day Challenge is not about theory - it is about transformation through action.
