It is one thing to work on your technique and creative voice, but making money with your work is an entirely separate skill. If you are working on developing your photography income, check out this great video tutorial that shares five actionable steps for making money as a beginner photographer.
Coming to you from Kevin Raposo, this fantastic video tutorial discusses five steps to take for making money as a newer photographer. One of the best bits of advice I can give to new photographers looking to build their income is simply to accept low-risk jobs to start. No matter how good your technique is and how prepared you think you are, there are some things you can only absorb by experience and often, by making mistakes and learning from them. Obviously, it is better to make such mistakes when their impact will not be significant. I have known photographers who have taken on weddings for their first paid job, and while some made it through alright, others quickly found themselves overwhelmed, which led to disastrous results. Like anything, it is best to start small and build up as you gain confidence and experience. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Raposo.
