Welcome to the PIT Program

Do people constantly tell you that you should be a professional photographer? Do you look at your love of photography as something you would want to do for a living? The new season has come to bring together another group of hopeful professionals that are interested in developing a business based on photography. We are looking for people who have the true passion and dream of becoming a professional photographer and need help to do so successfully. To start any business it takes a lot of knowledge, consideration, and work. That is why, Jason Kirby began the PIT Program (Short for: Photographer in Training). This program is an extensive 6 month training program building a successful photography business with a professional photographer with a background in marketing and personal experience constructing his very own successful photography business.

This training program will prepare you for all aspects of a photography business including developing your own unique style, defining a niche to go after in the photography world, all aspects that go into starting a legitimate and respectable business, building a clientele, and making a desirable income from your business.

A quick summary of this program begins with a group you will be working closely with that is small and personal (5-6 students accepted). This six month training program includes two group sessions a month about 2 hours each. There is also a monthly one on one coaching session to develop your niche and answer any personal questions about your business. Additionally, there is free access to any and all of the regular courses taught ranging from basic beginner classes to professional. (To see all the classes available, check out the schedule and descriptions at www.sandiegophotographyclass.com ) The most important part of this program is the fact that you will be developing and learning more about photography and the business aspect that goes along with it. In this program, there will be opportunities to get REAL hands on training at live events and shoots. There is nothing better than learning to be a professional photographer by being a part of an actual live event.

Another equally important part of the entire program is the 1-on 1 coaching sessions. These sessions are developed to meet privately with Jason and focus on the development of your business within your specific niche. You will also review the assignments in depth and address any concerns or issues that came up during the assignments. Finally, this one on one time is mostly for you to review and receive constructive feedback to improve your developing skills in the photography business.

This program is for people serious about being able to comfortably and confidently say that they are a professional photographer. It is an incredibly detailed program and has been expertly formed to cover every aspect of a photography business. However, while it is for a serious business, it is also a fun, invigorating and exciting program! This is your chance to take your hobby of photography to the next level and get paid for your incredible pictures.
