info_outlineEarly on Harry Nowell realized following his family into big business wasn’t for him. Instead he chose shooting anything that slid, moved, and rolled for stock photo agencies.
Stock photography was lucrative enough for Harry, but as technology changed the way we shoot, it also changed his business model. We chatted about how he has adapted his photography business and why it is very important to pay attention to both the photography side and the business side to be successful.
Today, Harry Nowell shoots assignments and is working on a fine art photography project. As a business man, he also owns and operates a gallery, a studio (which is available for rent), and teaches workshops in his studio space as well as various classes outside on-location and he offers unique on-line programs for people that find it hard to find the time for a scheduled class, but still have the urge to learn.
