Bring your website, your portfolio, your pricing, your positioning, your client problem, your creative block. Whatever is stuck. I will look at it and tell you what I actually see. Not what you want to hear. What I think is true.

This is not coaching. This is not a course. It is an hour with someone who built a six figure commercial photography business by ignoring the conventional advice, wrote a book about what actually works, and has been having this conversation publicly for 75 episodes.

Patrick Fore is a commercial photographer, author, and podcaster based in San Diego. He spent four years as lead photographer at Taylor Guitars before going independent in 2022. He ignored the advice he was given, built a website every consultant told him was wrong, and brought in $124k in his first full year. He wrote a book about the gap between what the industry tells you and what actually works. He hosts a podcast about everything else.

Meet the Author

Most photography books are written by masters showing off their trophies. They tell you to do what they do.

I am not a guru. I am the guy who failed at this so you don't have to.

I spent years obsessing over gear, comparing myself to others, and feeling like a fraud. I realized that "getting good" had nothing to do with the lens I was using and everything to do with how I saw the world.

This book contains 0% of my portfolio and 100% of my scars. It’s the book I wish I had for a long time.

Thank you for reading,
– Patrick
