Digital Cameras Weddings
I am a very good photographer and was just wondering how much a professional photographer earns?
Is a career worth considering; eg doing weddings, corporate or newspaper/magazine shoots?
I have a Canon EOS digital camera with suitable knowledge.
Wow… no offense but the guy saying you should not toot your own horn seems to be doing a bit of tooting himself.
“Have you ever worked professionally? If not you don’t have any knowledge at all.” This statement is incorrect in so many ways… and I’m guessing once the author cools off he’ll realize it.
I’ve been an armature photographer for over 20 years, shot several events including weddings, concerts etc. and never accepted a dime… so I am in no way a professional. It’s a hobby but in that 20+ years I have, believe it or not, been able to gather a considerable amount of skill and yes knowledge. I have been offerd payment more times than I can remember but it’s just fun for me so I have refused. Sooo….
Basically it’s like most jobs. It takes time, hard work, talent and a lot of luck. There are thousands of very skill and talented photographers who fall flat on their face and quite frankly there are hacks who often stumble into a very lucrative career.
It really all depends on you. If you have any galleries up I would be happy to give my humble opinion of your skill or lack there off… I wont needlessly tare you down or build you up… but that being said my opinion will only be one of many you should get before you commit to a career.
If you really want to make “good” money in photography you really need to find a niche (something I’ve never been able to do), or you need to find something that you excel at… or again… you need to be really lucky.
It’s sort of like someone with a guitar asking if he or she should consider a career in music. So many levels of achievement from music teacher to rock star… and so many talented people that never make it and so many totally devoid of talent that do.
Did I help or make it worse? hahah
One final note… no matter how you look at it… to be a professional photographer takes a lot of start up money. Even if your one dimensional you will be looking at a few thousand to start.
