About Jim
I've dedicated my career to helping photographers achieve success, drawing on my own journey through the highs and lows of running a portrait photography business for over 2 decades. This journey not only honed my skills but taught me the invaluable lessons of resilience, strategic foresight, and the critical alignment of business practices with one's vision for their ideal life.
With a foundation rooted in both experience and photography education, my passion has led me to deeply engage with our community. I've directly worked with hundreds of photographers, vastly expanding my understanding of the common challenges and unique struggles we face in this profession. This engagement has fueled my development of over 200 classes and the education of more than 4,000 students. I've hosted numerous events, managed vibrant online forums and groups, and provided upwards of 1,000 free education sessions. My mission extends beyond instruction; it's about imparting the wisdom I've gained through years of real-world experience in a manner that's both authentic and impactful.
My commitment to enriching the photography community is why I host a free one-hour lesson on the business side of photography every week through the "Portrait Profits" show. It's more than guidance; it's about uplifting our community with knowledge, inspiration, and the tools needed for success.

I teach photography classes as well as the business side of portrait and event photography, my students not only understand the concepts but also know how to apply them in real-world scenarios.
I begin by introducing fundamental concepts to provide a solid foundation for understanding photography. Following the introduction, I incorporate hands-on projects. This approach helps to solidify the concepts through practical experience.
Review and Feedback Sessions: Students get an opportunity to present their work, receive feedback, and engage in discussions.
Real-world Case Studies: I use case studies from successful photography businesses to illustrate the application of business principles in the photography industry. This helps students see the real-world impact of the concepts they're learning.
Q&A and Open Discussion: Students may address any uncertainties or challenges they're facing. This open dialogue ensures that all students leave the lesson with a clear understanding of the material covered.
What sets me apart as a tutor is my focus on the intersection of creativity and business acumen in the portrait photography industry. I emphasize the importance of both artistic skill and business savvy, and how the two can complement each other to create a successful photography business that is a tool to help you reach your ideal life.
My lessons are designed for photographers at all levels, from beginners who are just starting out to experienced photographers looking to enhance their business. Whether it's understanding the basics of setting up a photography business, learning advanced marketing techniques, or mastering client relations, my curriculum is designed to be accessible and beneficial to photographers with varying degrees of experience and expertise.
My students are not only knowledgeable but also prepared to apply what they've learned to succeed in the competitive field of portrait or event photography.

Patience of Jim Landers
FlexibilityThe personal attention and care for every student. The quality of the programs was excellent! Jim and the other instructors are very passionate about photography and teaching.
I took 3 workshops with Jim in July 2006, it didn't start out with what "I" wanted to learn, but it quickly graduated to that with Jim teaching me the ropes on wedding photography, even finding a church to do an impromptu wedding photography lesson. Jim goes above and beyond as a photography instructor, he takes his time with the students he teaches, ensuring they learn what they want to learn in the easiest most instructive way possible. You want to learn the trade, Jim Landers and Landers Photography School is the best to learn from. Top notch in my books!! :)
I have taken a number of classes from Landers Photography School. My wife Sharon has taken Photography 101 from Jim. Jim and the other instructors were excellent. Both of us are much better photographers because of Jim and his instructors. If you are interested in photography and are just starting out or want to refresh or improve there is no better place to go. Great work Jim. Thanks.
Landers Photography doesn't just teach photography, but about being a photographer that can survive, and even thrive as a small business without having to spend every waking minute focusing on your business.
Jim himself, is a great teacher. He's very open minded when listening to student questions and always has amazing insight to offer.I went through Jim’s business courses and Jim has LITERALLY changed my life. He keeps lessons fun, he doesn’t cut corners, he tells it like it is. He legitimately cares about his students. He helps you find your passion and encourages you forward. I could not recommend Jim’s services more.
Jim is very knowledgeable and a great instructor.
Jim was so great. Myself, my daughter and my husband and 2 of our friends took a introduction to photography class with him and we learned so much! He’s a great educator and a makes the class fun!
Jim is very knowledgeable, helpful, & truly cares about his students.
If you want to take your photography or your photography business to the next level, there is no one better to help you take the next steps than Jim. Supportive, encouraging and has walked the walk. Take a class, change your life.
Fantastic!! Experienced, patient and always gives more than you expect.
