When photographers have established themselves and their businesses, one option that they tend to turn to involves teaching photography. To get involved in teaching, many photographers find that they have two different options:

1. Creating courses that can be followed during on one one time - courses that will be hands on training
2. Creating courses that enable others to learn from a distance.

It is possible, however, to focus on providing hands on training along with a guide that will help others to not only learn from you, but also to learn by re-consulting the lessons in a printed photo book that you create to compliment your hands on training.

When you also create a printed photo book, you will find that you are able to teach photography more effectively: you won’t just be spending time showing your clients how to do something, you’ll also be giving them a guide that they can continue to consult for years to come.

In other words, you will find that when you are able to provide photo books to your students that let them see the lessons, you will be able to take their training to the next level.

When you’re a photographer - and especially when you work with digital cameras and post-development - you’re likely to find that you have the opportunity to enhance your business by creating hands on training courses that help others to get a bit more out of their cameras as well as printed guides that can be referred to again at a later point in time.

Let’s say that the course that you’re going to offer is in photo editing. Yes, you’re going to want to take the time to create a great spoken class for those who want to take it; but many of those attendees are also going to want to have something that they can refer to later and to use on their own.

With hands on training photo books, you’ll be able to include text that describes the project and each step that needs to be taken. You’ll also be able to use photos and even screen shots that demonstrate what you’re trying to explain (as well as to give those who are looking for training a chance to see what not to do).

With printed photo books, you’ll find that providing hands on training becomes a lot simpler: you won’t just be in a position to talk people through the process, you’ll be able to show them what you mean and why it’s important as well.

One of the things that many photographers find challenging is providing hands on training to apprentices and students who are looking to learn more about the art form. After all, how can you show someone what you see through the lens? How can you describe the difference between settings and shutter speeds?

Providing hands on training can be challenging for photographers who are trying to pass on what they know, but it doesn’t have to be. Those who want to be sure that others are able to learn from them will find a number of benefits when they start using printed photo books to express themselves.

When using printed photo books for hands on training, you’ll find that:

• It’s easier to show the difference between one ISO and another
• It’s easier to show the difference between a macro focus and an image shot at a distance
• It’s easier to show the difference between a night shot taken using a tripod or if you’re made the choice to hold the camera

Even when the differences are far from subtle, when you are training someone on a different point of photography, it’s great to be able to provide visual examples. With printed photo books, providing that hands on training is far simpler than you may have thought that it would be.

As a photographer, you’re likely at some point to work with an assistant. As an artist, you’re likely to find that you have your own way of doing things. But that doesn’t mean that you can’t share your sense of how things done in an unconventional way: photo books are a great tool for providing hands on training.

Of course, the training provided by a photo book will be supplemental: you’ll still want to be hands on, at least initially. But your photo book can create guidelines and some tips for ongoing training.

Want your assistant to know exactly how you want the lights metered for a shoot? Take a photo of the meter reading the way that you want it to. Set up your light tent, take a photo and list the dimensions and the best locations for placing the bulbs.

Similarly, if you want to share what you know with your assistant - to take his or her training to the next level - you’ll be able to use a photo book with all of the specifics. Including photos, diagrams and even text-based instructions is simple.

When your assistant has a photo book, he or she will be able to spend more time helping you out, and you’ll be able to spend less time giving direction.

As a photographer, there are a number of things that you’ve learned over time. For some, this experience is eventually going to lead others to come to you looking for tips and tools.

Eventually, after a number of people come up to you while you’re out with your camera asking about how you frame a shot or what the different f-stops really mean, you might get to thinking that offering hands on training would be a great way to share what you’ve learned (and put a bit of extra cash in your pocket).

Printed photo books can be a great way of showing the benefits of hands on training. With them, you can:

• market your services
• talk about the ‘lessons’ you’ll share with people who sign up for training
• use images to show why the proper lighting is important
• enhance images to demonstrate principles like the rule of thirds
• create a great resource that your ’students’ can take with them after the class

In other words, with printed photo books you’ll find that you can grow your business in a number of different ways.
