About The Abundant Photographer

The group teaches a model built on fewer clients at higher prices, simple repeatable systems rather than social media, and AI tools to streamline the business.[1] The credits Hartley lists include a keynote at WPPI and work as a CreativeLive instructor.[1]

Hartley also hosts The Six Figure Photography Podcast, whose episodes include guest interviews such as one with Zac Wolf on efficiency systems.[2] Its website frames the work around a weekly podcast, online training modules and hands-on workshops, aimed at moving photographers towards what it calls "this life of abundance".[3] The site also offers a free seven-day email course on attracting and booking clients and charging premium rates, alongside the Booked Solid Course and the Abundance Workshop.[2] A post on its blog is dated October 2013.[3]
