Franchise Spotlight: Photography

Capturing special moments at weddings keeps revenues high in the photography industry.

In Australia, professional photography has seen a steady 2% annual growth over the last five years, with wedding photography amounting to 40% of industry revenue. As tech giants compete to offer the best camera phone and pixel quality, it creates increased competition for businesses in the photography sector. Taking high-quality photos from your phone has replaced the need to pay for the service.

Despite the advances in digitalised image technologies, the photography market is worth AU$1 billion, with around 7,700 businesses. If you have always dreamt of becoming a photographer, owning a franchise offers guidance and a competitive edge. Business photography is another avenue to consider, with property or business event photography offering a lucrative trade.

You may prefer to have a shop on the high street offering niche services, such as digitalising old VHS videos or taking photos for passports and other IDs. These services require unique technology and know-how, which can help franchisees corner the market with little competition.

Photography industry analysis

The photography sector is vulnerable to fluctuating demand due to the country’s economic condition and demographic trends. During slow growth periods, the advertising sector and corporations tighten their expenditure on outsourcing photographic services.

In this competitive sector, referrals are essential. Owning a franchise can help you benefit from operating under an established brand with a good reputation in the industry. However, the real success of the business still comes down to the franchisee. The snapshot to success? Offer unparalleled service, unique photography, excellent interpersonal skills, and a clear understanding of the customer’s needs.

Many franchisors offer comprehensive training and support, such as photography sessions or guidance on business systems or finances. If you are already creative, with a passion and knowledge of photography, you already have the foundations to succeed and thrive. Owning a franchise offers you the freedom to create your own work schedule and be your own boss, with the safety net of a franchise network ready to assist and support.
