Would you like to start your own Schools Photography Business?
Our business is about helping people establish their own schools photography business by sharing our know-how, proven business model and facilities.
Class Club - it's like a franchise but without the high initial costs!
Class Photographers benefit from
our experience and branding to run their own business in their home
territory. We normally allocate two postcode areas to each
photographer so that a profitable business can be built with only a
very small percentage of the local market.
We provide our Club members with a complete system that has been developed by school photographers for school photographers and includes first class products and an integrated workflow with our unique online PhotoLab.
- Training - tailored to your needs and covering everything from getting business and taking photos to looking after your customers.
- Equipment - we can just advise what you need, or supply a complete package.
- Detailed operating Procedures - so you get it right, consistently.
- Top quality lab services - so you provide a first class service.
- Product development - so you stay ahead of the competition.
- Insurance - cover for all the essential business risks on privileged Club terms.
- Share your successes and problems with like-minded people - and reduce marketing costs by sharing those too!
- Be part of a national team licensed to provide schools with photos for their student databases.
The setup costs are modest and a profitable business can be built with as few as a dozen schools. There are no management fees and no royalties on sales. You need to be good with people, enthusiastic and confident in your ability to offer schools a first class service. We also require all our photographers to be checked by the Criminal Records Bureau to work with children.

Are you already a Photographer
doing schools work?
ClassPhotolab gives you everything you need to sell online and compete with the major firms.
ClassPhotoLab is the only online lab designed to meet all the needs of schools photography. Although we designed it for our own use, we are now able to let other established photographers share its many benefits.
ClassPhotolab takes the hassle out of school photography by looking after almost everything except actually taking the photos. That means you can focus on being the best photographer, taking better photos and earning more. It's as simple as that.
Everything we do has been designed by school photographers for school photographers. There are no compromises. We do what schools want; not what makes life easy for the lab. You pay just a small monthly fee linked to the number of schools you have so your post-shoot costs are always affordable in relation to your sales.
