Pet Photographer Richie Schwartz: With 40 years as a pro photographer, this former Vet Tech, Groomer and Dog Trainer’s experiences and talent have given him the ability to create unique pet portraits. Based in NY, he has photographed over 75,000 pets in 33 states and is known as “America’s Most Experienced Pet Photographer”. He is also an educator and mentor, teaching pet photography and general business skills to other photographers. Richie volunteers his time to help animal rescue groups.
This fun conversation is focused on very high volume photography and how to create portrait events in the businesses that serve your niche. So many of my guests have focused on having businesses with low volume and high dollar session. Learning how to make an incredible living doing the opposite, especially photographing pets, is eye opening.
Richie shares the strategies he uses to photograph in over 40 plus pet stores and other businesses that serve the pet community.
And he leaves us with a joke sure to make you LOL.

LUXURY EXPERIENCE
My thoughts on luxury and why creating a high involvement, high quality experience for clients gives you a competitive edge over other photography businesses are the topic of today’s solo episode.
I share a definition and WHY we humans will invest well on more than necessities in life, REASONS it is a valuable goal to set as photographers, HOW to create a luxury business that makes clients feel special and happy to hire us at prices that are well above the average, and some of the ways we can COMMUNICATE guality and value.
I share ideas on the value of
- effective branding both in design and structure of our photography business
- quality products
- artistic/high taste lever designs of our photographs and products
- simplicity and specializing
- and most important of all, personalized service with a caring, involved relationship with the customer
I hope this gives you some things to ponder and ideas to create an even more luxury experience for your clients. Remember…there is always room a the top.
