500th Blog - 20 Sept 2021

Lots of beginner photographer always keep on asking this question because they are always confused between free lancer and Professional photographer. Today I am writing this article about professional photographer. 

What is Pro-Photographer ? Professional photographer is a person, who has Been full time photographer for his entire life or career. No other income source, no other work etc
  • They keep buying expensive photography gears as per their requirement or as technology changed. They have one purpose to shoot amazingly.
  • Their earning source is only through photography business
  • They are maintaining photography company with the help of website, blogs, social media platform etc 
  • They advertise for their brand building and spend hell lots of money on it
  • They hire other team person as per the shoot requirement and also keep them on salary also.
  • They maintain client relationship and maintain  
  • Professional photographer is a photographer who earns 100% of his income from photography
Challenges 
  • He need to invest lots of money in buying expensive kit because he has to establish his brand and name. In the beginning arranging money is a project or tough project because no body believe in you.
  • He spent lots of money for brand building like client relationship, touring, managing studio and staff expenses etc
  • In the beginning, they struggle a lot to fetch new and big client
  • They suffer a lot to maintain their photos and videos bank 
  • Lots of struggle to earn client's faith and confidence etc
  • Sometime they do not get project for so long time and suffer through finance crunches 
  • Sometime they have to face lots of criticism for not so doing well.
Being a pro photographer, people thinks that this will be quite easy to become full time or pro photographer but some photographer spent their 20-25 years of struggle to reach at the top level and built their brand image in the masses and classes successfully. Every profession is quite challenging but how you handle those challenges thats your winning performance. Nobody has achieved the BRAND TAG without facing the challenges and struggle. 

Conclusion - What you want from you thats important, Thats not important what other expect from you. I have met few engineers who become photographer. I know one or two Dr who become engineers. So it is you who decide better plans, life, career, happiness etc. Choose life wisely.

Keep experimenting! Have wonderful and happy photography life to you all
