Becoming a professional photographer is the dream of many people, but the road to getting there is short and straight. So how long does it take to actually get there? This great video features an experienced photographer discussing the journey and provides some helpful insights and tips for finding success along the way.
Coming to you from Scott Choucino’s Tin House Studio, this great video discusses the journey of becoming a professional photographer. If this is a dream you’re really serious about, I think it’s remarkable that so many of even the most successful photographers (including many featured here) have made the transition gradually. In other words, instead of just taking a day off and switching to photography full time, they continue to derive their main income from whatever job or career they already have and build a portfolio of photography and work. their business until the point from which they can reasonably derive primary income. Not only is this a safer method financially, but it can also give you a little more confidence when deciding to switch. Check out the video above for the full summary from Choucino.
