Become a Professional
Photo Manager
Turn your love of photos into a business.
You’ve daydreamed about the flexibility of a home-based business that actually helps people and makes a difference.
One that could begin as a side hustle and eventually replace your corporate job.
Today, people are snapping a trillion photos annually. And the photos are stored on all different devices. It’s a digital disaster.
The professional photo organizing industry is booming because people need help, and demand is growing every year.
It’s officially a thing.

The Building Blocks of Digital Photo Organizing
The need for an in-depth understanding of digital photo organizing is critical to a Photo Manager’s success. We’ve partnered with Peter Bennet, a professional photographer, photo organizer, and instructor to create a course that walks you step-by-step through everything you need to know to complete your first professional project. So you can feel like a pro from the start.
You’ll discover the best software and hardware options and discuss how to accurately diagnose your client’s situation. Peter will teach you digital imaging basics, metadata, and how to strategize a job from beginning to end.
