HEY THERE! 

The whole reason why I’m teaching photography and business is because I want to elevate the industry I’m working in. The more photographers who specialize within their field and become experts in their crafts, the easier it will be for clients to find great photographers for their needs.

That way, photographers can charge more, clients get better products, and the whole photography industry will thrive because of it.

I’m Eirik Halvorsen. I’m a destination wedding photographer based in Norway that has photographed weddings and couples in 11 different countries. It wasn’t always that way, though. You see, I started photographing bands and concerts back in 2005, and went through phases of photographing models, business headshots, and seniors. I even worked a full year in a newspaper, and that is where I truly started to understand what photography actually is.

I so badly wanted to become a full-time photographer, but nothing really clicked (no pun intended, haha.) It wasn’t until my own wedding in 2012 that I experienced a huge paradigm shift. My wife and I hired an American wedding photographer, and I suddenly understood that you can become a specialist within one niche, travel around the world, meet fantastic people, and call it a job.

After I started pursuing wedding photography I’ve built a business that averages €7500 per client in revenue, and have photographers shooting under my brand. I’ve had hundreds of students going through my courses, workshops, and mentoring programs, many of which work as full-time photographers today.
