‌Is‌ ‌photography‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌profession‌ ‌good?

‌Is‌ ‌photography‌ ‌as‌ ‌a‌ ‌profession‌ ‌good?

Photography as a profession is still not considered as a noble profession. But if you look at this profession closely, you will come to know its importance and earnings you can make with it.

My educational qualifications include M.Com and LLB. The reason I am inclined towards photography is that I always wanted to do something which would be different from the leak. I wanted to do something creative. Photography was my family business. I used to observe it minutely and I concluded that new techniques were required to stay ahead in the competition.

Thus, I created an interest in photography. It took me almost two and a half years to learn the skills of photography. There are different categories of photography like wildlife photography, wedding photography. I am specialised in wedding photography which requires skills like the right mixing of light.


Prerequisites‌ ‌and‌ ‌earning‌ ‌in‌ ‌photography.

The best part about photography is that you don’t need a huge amount to start with. You can start under the guidance of a professional photographer. You can start it anywhere as in a tier 3 city or even a village. There is no requirement of any course but if done, it will be beneficial.

I dedicate 7-8 hours per day to photography. We are a team of 12 members. I earn up to 50,000 to 60,000 per month. In peak season, I attend up to 6 clients at a time per day.


Myths‌ ‌about‌ ‌photography‌ ‌profession.

There are myths about photography as a profession. Some of them are:

  1. It is not considered as a good source of income.
  2. People still look at photography as a profession as a time pass.
  3. Photography is easy, anyone can do it.

The problems I face is that every year the technology changes. Competition is in full swing. But overall, if you love to click pictures, believe in yourself, go ahead and take it as a profession. All it requires is creativity, passion and patience. And when you receive positive feedbacks, it boosts your confidence level.
