From weddings and portraits to product shots and promotional shoots, there are loads of ways to make money by shooting for individuals and businesses
Wedding and portrait photography have long been the bread and butter of getting paid for your photography services, but these are very crowded and competitive markets. Despite this, there are still opportunities to make money if you approach it in a professional manner.
You’ll need to be able to shoot perfect pictures at speed, in difficult conditions, and often while dealing with a host of other demands. From arranging large groups of people and being the centre of attention without taking anything away from the experience of the couple on their big day (or their family and friends), wedding photography is more about people skills and charm than simply being able to take great photos.
Shadowing a full-time wedding photographer is a great way to get to grips with the demands of wedding photography. Or if you are confident of your skills you can get experience by working as a second-shooter.
Shooting portraits will require similar skills to wedding photography, but there tends to be slightly less time pressure as you aren’t usually capturing a ‘once-in-a-lifetime’ day.
