Easily start up and market a profitable photography business
The best things about having your own Photography Business is the
freedom to start work when you choose, finish the day when it suits, attend your children's school functions, meet someone for lunch etc. You can structure your day the way you see fit and the work is interesting and enjoyable. Your camera and bag can stay in the car and your home becomes your office. It doesn't matter whether you use traditional or digital cameras, this e-book applies to both. You just get better and better at taking photos. If you enjoy taking photos, then starting your own photography business makes sense, doesn't it?! You now need to know how to make it profitable and earn a decent income from it. Let me make it very clear that this information is only going to be useful to you if you have a passion for photography. You don't have to be an award winning photographer, just keen. You must enjoy photography for this to be successful for you. If you're just looking for a job doing something different, I don't recommend you read any further. Make sure that when you are old enough to earn a living, try to make it something you enjoy and in which you have an interest - then you'll do a good job & you'll be happy for a lot longer! Unfortunately, I didn't take heed until much later in life but you don't have to wait that long and if you have, then it's never, ever too late to change. Some of my greatest loves and joys in life have come from photography. You can grasp today and store the moment for a long time, you can create joy and interest for others, (be it weddings, a newborn child, sport, school photos, family treasures, photojournalism, nature and educational areas etc.). This very passion for memories and the continual proud moments millions of people have, ensures the future of photography. It's a safe career, it's interesting, always changing and it can be very, very lucrative. "The sky is the limit", as they say. If you enjoy photography, don't settle for anything less! http://photobizao.blogspot.com/# |

If you're accomplished photographers, why not say who your are?

Easily start up and market a profitable photography business
What a moron. I've been doing this as a profession for over thirty years and
my father was in the business before me, so my personal experience goes pretty far back. I know hundreds of professionals personally since I run a pro lab. The most successful photographers I know all have other forms of income because the business can't support them. It's tough and demanding work with long hours if you're serious about it and the financial rewards just aren't there to make it worthwhile. I'm serious when I say that it's a lot less effort to become a doctor and there'd be far more free time in your week if you did. john wrote in message oups.com...

Easily start up and market a profitable photography business
On a field trip led by a youngish guy (early-thirties) who was just
starting his photo business I asked this question: what percent of your time do you spend seeking and shooting photographs compared with doing business? His reply: 10%. Art R. Jean-David Beyer wrote: wrote: The best things about having your own Photography Business is the freedom to start work when you choose, finish the day when it suits, attend your children's school functions, meet someone for lunch etc. Yeah! Right! But what if your customer wants you to start work earlier, skip lunch, and work later than you choose? Or he will get a photographer who will! As for school functions, unscheduled ones such as your child being sick in the middle of a photo-shoot with expensive auxiliary staff (models, art directors, etc.) _will_ happen and too bad for the shoot and your reputation, unless you can get someone else to deal with the kid. And, by Murphy's Law, your wife will be at work 60 miles away. You can structure your day the way you see fit and the work is interesting and enjoyable. Sure, if you are independently wealthy. Otherwise you have to structure your day to suit the clients' requirements. Your camera and bag can stay in the car Spoiling the film in the hot sun, and risk of theft. BTW, if you are a professional, there will surely be more than one camera in there. Probably a studio flash system, etc. and your home becomes your office. It doesn't matter whether you use traditional or digital cameras, this e-book applies to both. You just get better and better at taking photos. Taking photos is only part of running a photographic business. Managing a business is a very large part and most photographers do not like it. If you are very successful, your business manager takes care part of this and your office manager takes care of the rest. But they must be paid from the revenue of the business. If you enjoy taking photos, then starting your own photography business makes sense, doesn't it?! Not likely. You would want to do a business plan and some market research. These days anyone with a 35 mm camera (digital and analog) with interchangeable lenses, or even one zoom lens and living at home rent-free with his mother can call himself a photographer. You will be competing with them, and most clients are looking for the lowest bidder. You now need to know how to make it profitable and earn a decent income from it. Let me make it very clear that this information is only going to be useful to you if you have a passion for photography. You don't have to be an award winning photographer, just keen. You must enjoy photography for this to be successful for you. If you're just looking for a job doing something different, I don't recommend you read any further.

This very passion for memories and the continual proud moments millions of people have, ensures the future of photography. It's a safe career, Sure is. Just ask Robert Capa. it's interesting, always changing and it can be very, very lucrative. "The sky is the limit", as they say.
