If you’re anything like most photographers, you’re not stuck because you’re bad at photography.
You’re stuck because:
- Clients ghost you after inquiries
- You hesitate when talking about price
- You book inconsistently, even though your work is strong
- You feel like you’re working hard but not moving forward
And the most frustrating part?
You don’t know what to fix first.
The Photography Breakthrough System exists to give you clarity, confidence, and a repeatable way forward.
Most photographers believe their problem is:
Not enough leads
Not enough exposure
Not enough followers
That’s not the real issue.
Â
The real issue is:
 How you communicate your value
How clients experience you before they ever hire you
How confident you feel when you show up
Fix that and bookings change.
Why I Can Help You With This
I’ve spent over 30 years working at the highest levels of photography... celebrity portraits, global brands, and major campaigns.
But here’s what most people don’t see:
I’ve watched incredibly talented photographers struggle, not because their work wasn’t good enough, but because they lacked clarity, positioning, and confidence.
This system is built on:
Real-world experience
Human psychology
What actually makes clients say yes
This isn’t theory. It’s what I’ve lived and what I now teach.

Testimonials
Thanks to Matthew’s Photography Breakthrough System, I’ve gained 5 new clients and increased my profit margin.
I’ve been working with Matthew for several years, and his guidance has meant a great deal to me. He helped me see where my work truly belonged in juried competitions, which led to multiple International Color Awards nominations, walked me through a successfully funded Kickstarter at a time when photography projects rarely succeed there, and, above all, encouraged me to trust my instincts and stay true to my own voice instead of chasing anyone else’s style.
I've gotten 3 new clients, shooting for a magazine and being hired as Photo Editor, then there is the position of Lead Photographer for Fremantle Fashions and the latest is shooting a brand’s products.
This System is amazing. One of the things that Matthew does, is he teaches us exactly how he got to where he is. There is no magic, and it is work, but the work pays off.
I joined Photography Breakthrough System last year, and it completely transformed the way I run my photography business. I now have a clear system in place that supports consistent growth through referrals and marketing. I feel more confident in my work, more prepared as a business owner, and genuinely excited about photography again.
Thank you Matthew Jordan Smith
Matthew has been there. When he moved to a country where all his professional connections meant nothing, he had to start again completely from scratch. And what he discovered is it’s the tried and true methods that consistently produce results, and not the trendy methods which result in short term gains but long-term failure. I’ve taken a lot of classes that promise a bunch of leads in a short time, but those classes don’t teach you how to keep those leads and cultivate long-term client relationships. Matthew is a master of the client relationship and I have learned so much from his System about how to elevate my clients’ experience, be more professional, and stand out from the crowd. To put it another way, so many courses focus on making your photography into a “fast food” experience but Matthew is working on getting you Michelin Stars.
Already, since starting his course, I have had my best quarter ever and I’m sticking with the course because I want to grow even higher and dream even bigger.
You don’t need more information.
You need clarity and momentum.
