The problem

Incredible at making things. Terrible at pricing them.

1 in 5

Can't set fair prices

21% of client-based photographers say pricing is their biggest business struggle. They guess, undercut, and lose money on projects they thought were profitable.

$22K

Surprise tax bills

Freelancers who skip quarterly estimated payments face average surprise bills of $22,000 or more, plus IRS penalties. Most don't even know quarterlies are required.

46%

Struggle to find clients

Nearly half of photographers can't maintain a steady pipeline. They swing between being overworked and having nothing booked.
