Starting Out As A Photographer In 2024
You are about to embark in something that is HARD. If it was that easy, then there would be more small independent business owners. It’s much easier sometimes to work for someone else than sometimes working for yourself. Especially in the beginning, when you are 10 teams rolled into one. You are not just a photographer, but a marketer, designer, a blogger, a business owner, accountant, a set designer, customer service manager and a wardrobe coordinator. Things are going to go crazy that you never thought you may have encountered before. Like an unhinged client or an issue with your computer not working and need to complete a deadline, or golly forbid an SD card goes bad and you are doing everything to recover those images. It’s not going to be an easy journey and it never will.
