The late Mayor of Sandy Springs, Eva Galambos, referred to Eric Bern Studio as "an institution in Sandy Springs. Eric's newest studio on Mt. Vernon Highwya is his 5th and most modern studio where his newest brand "Headshot Studio Atlanta" is keeping him busy photographing corporate headshots and location business photography for numerous companies around Atlanta.

Eric moved to Atlanta in 1978 after graduating from Arizona State University majoring in Fine Art Photography and Broadcasting. In his first studio on Roswell Road I worked on "Cut Ups", 3 dimensional photographic acrylic cut outs of families having fun. This launched his career. With his Wife he made Sandy Springs home and his married sons and grandson all live within a few miles of his home and studio. He was glad to have most of my life's work, recreation, family and friends all within the City of Sandy Springs.

During college he began to photograph candid environmental black and white portraits and quickly built a reputation for these natural images. He had a dream to build a portrait studio business in a tightly knit community. After opening a studio with the "Cut Ups" brand he created a full service studio featuring canvas, acrylic, metal and wood mounted wall portraits along with custom designed albums of families and events.

Are You Serious About Starting A Photography Business?
Bernie has coached many studio photographers over the years. Some with big studios and some who work part time. Most photographers I speak to seem to have similar challenges to overcome. Their cash flow is not showing any signs of growth. They are spending all of their time in their business and no time working on their business. They feel guilty spending too much time at work and not enough with your family. They want to take your business to the next level but are not sure which direction to go.
If you relate to a lot of these challenges, then this Podcast is just for you.
