Steve Harris's Story

Having been interested in photography from a very young age, Steve Harris, who owns Venture Maidstone, hasn't looked back since becoming a Venture franchisee four years ago.

"Photography is my passion, so I jumped at the chance of owning my own studio. I work six days a week because this business is my baby and I want it to succeed, but I do have lots of fun along the way.  

I spend around 85 per cent of my time running the business and dealing with admin, but when you open a Venture studio you need to be prepared to roll your sleeves up and get involved in all areas of the business to make it work.  

The guidance offered by the Field Support Team is second to none and without them and my team I wouldn't be where I am today. All the photographers I know are envious of the brand and people that come into the studio love the Venture experience, so what more could I ask for?"
