Landscape photography is a popular genre, but the vast majority of those who enjoy it do it as a hobby and not a profession. So, how do those who do it professionally make a career out of it? This insightful video features a professional landscape photographer discussing his long-term approach to his career and some things to be aware of along the way.
Coming to you from Ben Horne, this great video essay discusses strategies for a long-term career in landscape photography and some of the pitfalls along the way. Landscape photography is a wonderful genre, but on the business side, and it can be especially challenging. That being said, it does not have to be an all-or-nothing proposition. I enjoy taking hikes with my camera, and I sell prints of local landmarks on my personal site. It certainly isn't a life-changing amount of money, but having a bit of passive income from simply enjoying time with my camera is really nice, and it doesn't take much work to implement. Check out the video above for the full rundown from Horne.
