Hey, fans of The Profitable Photographer Podcast! I’m bringing back one of my all-time favorite episodes from 2021 because it’s just that good. If you missed it the first time or need a refresher, this is your chance to hear from Hart Tan, an incredible photographer and entrepreneur from Singapore. Hart is the mastermind behind Tomato, one of the largest photography studios in Singapore, and he’s running a high-volume, seven-figure business he started 12 years ago.


Hart is not only an award-winning Master Photographer, but he also shares such valuable insights on building a business that’s successful, sustainable, and truly your own. In our conversation, Hart goes beyond photography and dives into what it means to craft a career that works for you—one that brings both success and happiness.


Here’s what we talk about:


  • Building your business like a house: The foundation is key, and it’s what gives you the freedom to grow.
  • Curiosity is your best tool: Always stay curious about what works and what doesn’t.
  • Marketing with intention: Test, measure, and adjust your strategies based on real results.
  • Personal responsibility and problem-solving: Success is a combination of creativity and taking responsibility for your actions.
  • Trust your gut: Not all advice fits. Learn to listen to your inner guidance.
  • Systems are essential: Have a system in place to make everything run smoother.


Hart’s wisdom is timeless, so if you’re looking to build a thriving business and a fulfilling career, this episode is a must-listen. He’s got a wealth of knowledge, and I know you’ll love what he shares.
