To have photo money start rolling in, there's no need to be Ansel
Adams. You just need to be competent. The mere fact that you've considered starting a photography career - and you have, or you wouldn't be reading this - says that you more than likely have all the shooting skill necessary to generate lots of happy clients - and to make plenty of money selling your photography. Once launched, your photography, marketing skills and sales are going to dramatically increase. Soon you'll be creating better and better work as well as making more and more money. Maybe someday you WILL be compared to Ansel Adams! http://digphotoincome.blogspot.com/# |

He had to make portraits, shoot industrial machinery for advertisements, and lots of other boring stuff just to pay the bills. Edward Weston had it worse, doing photographs of dead babies, making tedious photographs of ugly people that he spent hours of his time retouching. Wynn Bullock had to run a portrait studio too. Adams started making money only after working hard at it for many decades. Weston never really made any money, and I doubt Wynn Bullock did either. You just need to be competent.

While I _may have_ the required shooting skill, and even the necessary darkroom skills, I do not have a business manager who is capable of running the business, a marketing manager who can get me famous, or the temperament to make the images paying customers would want.
