Introduction
Classic Family Portraits (CFP) provides the opportunity for people to become self employed Photographic Sub Contractors (Photographers), utilising CFP administration and production systems.

Working Area
The bulk of the business is generated in country and remote areas of Australia.  Australia has been divided into 5 various working areas which are offered to photographers based on experience, performance, equipment and canvassing structure. You must be prepared to travel to succeed which makes the lifestyle better suited to couples without dependents.

Customer Generation
Classic Family Portraits has a customer data base in excess of 32,000. We use a proven method of re-appointing our existing base as well as creating new customers by our referral system. Every photographer is expected to learn both methods of customer generation as part of their on-going commitment. Photographers may seek assistance from CFP in creating a Photographer/Canvasser association (see Canvasser below). Other methods are discussed during the training period.

In the House & After Hours
The Photographer sets up the backdrop and lights usually in the lounge/family room.  A series of images are taken to suit one of the CFP packages.  The photographer then shows the customer all images on a laptop until the customer settles on a final package.  Documentation is then completed and the customer selects their payment preference, usually the Direct Debit Pre-Payment Plan.  When the photographer finishes for the day they burn the ordered images to disc and check all documentation.  Documentation and discs are sent back to Head Office on a weekly basis.  Head Office then administers the order through to completion.  Head Office provides various reports to the photographer on their business activity. 

Establishment Costs
A reliable car/4WD is preferred, comfortable caravan is desirable and a decent notebook (laptop) is a must.   You will need to purchase photographic equipment equating to $2500 - $3000.  CFP may be able to assist with second hand equipment to save on initial outlay ($1200 -$2000).

Training and Support
Loads of ‘personality’ and ‘self motivation’ essential,  previous experience is not essential.  CFP provides initial training at Head Office (5 – 7 days) followed by 7 days ‘live’ training in a country location.  Further training is provided as determined by CFP.  Phone support is provided as required.  CFP also provide tax and business management guidance/support.
