Marc MacArthur of Heckbert Studio & Gallery<\/strong><\/p>\n

Heckbert Studio is located in the capital city of the smallest Canadian province, Prince Edward Island (\u201cAnne of Green Gables\u201d fans, are you listening?). Owner Marc MacArthur\u2019s paternal grandfather started the studio in 1957, following his WWII service in the Royal Canadian Navy. After he passed away, MacArthur\u2019s grandmother remarried, took over the business, and handed it down to Marc\u2019s dad. Now owner and third in line of this family-run studio, Marc says he\u2019s still learning how to work smarter. \u201cThe flexibility and freedom it allows you\u201d is the best part of running his studio, Marc says, but \u201cit can also be the worst part if you\u2019re not careful.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\"marc\"<\/em><\/p>\n

How long have you been a professional photographer?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Since I was raised in a family of photographers, you could say since I could walk. But technically, 21 years.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s your niche\u2014your typical photography subjects?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Portraits of all kinds. We specialize in graduation portraits and location family portraits; for example, at the beach, parks, at a cottage, at home.<\/p>\n

What do you enjoy most about location portrait shoots?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Just being outside in nature. If I could share the striking beauty of Prince Edward Island, you would see why I enjoy it. We try to use this scenery in the composition of each portrait.<\/p>\n

What\u2019s different about shooting a scenic landscape, say, than a recent college graduate or a family portrait?<\/strong><\/p>\n

Basic rules such as direction of light and composition are common, but shooting a landscape feels more \u201cfree.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"landscape\"<\/p>\n

Who inspires you\u2014photographers, thinkers, artists, musicians, writers, entrepreneurs, anyone?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

My grandmother Bernadette, because of her determination and inner strength. She was responsible for picking up the pieces after her husband passed away at a young age, leaving her with four young sons and a business to learn.<\/p>\n

For photographers, I\u2019m inspired by portrait artists Joseph & Louise Simone, MPA [\u201cMaster of Photographic Arts,\u201d\u00a0 the highest designation from the Professional Photographers of Canada], photographer Christopher Lovegrove, MPA, and Kirk Saint, MPA, for his never-ending energy and zest for learning and improvement.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m also inspired by my sister Jane for her spirituality.<\/p>\n

What advice would you give to someone launching their own commercial portrait studio?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

Learn the business end of running a studio. Most of us hate it, but we need to know it. Realize what your strengths are and hire others to look after that which you cannot. Good accountants are expensive. Bad ones are more expensive!<\/p>\n

\"couple\"<\/p>\n

What\u2019s the best part of your job?\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The flexibility and freedom it allows you. It can also be the worst part of it if you\u2019re not careful.<\/p>\n

Specifically, what do you mean by \u201cit can also be the worst part if you\u2019re not careful\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I mean that it is very easy to work too much. In this job, weekends and holidays are prime time. Unfortunately, you have to sacrifice these precious times away from family. You must learn to balance this if you want any life outside of photography.<\/p>\n

Where do you hope your photography and your studio will be in five years\u2019 time?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I would like to actually downsize my operation and move to a home-based operation. Many who start out this way strive to get that studio location or at a mall, but at this point in my career, I would like to minimize the hours I work and maximize the money I earn. Work smarter!<\/p>\n
