How do photographers make money by photography?

Considering that there are a large number of people pursuing photography now, it is a good starting point to determine what you want and how to help your customers. In this article, we will explore some ideas of making money through photography.

First of all, win customers.

One of the first ways that many photographers start is to shoot for their clients.

Some ideas of first-time customer photography may include: senior portrait, family activities, company activities, company head portrait, model photography, activity photography or product photography.

At first, you need to promote your photography business in various ways. Social media, self-media and so on are all channels worth promoting. After shooting for some customers, promote your works on social media accounts through your portfolio to attract more customers.

Second, shoot the wedding

Once you get used to working with people and shooting at a faster speed, photographers can also consider working part-time in the studio. Wedding is another good opportunity worth considering.

No matter whether you work in a big city or a small town, there are a steady stream of new customers who get married and look for your services, and you have the ability to make more money through weddings. The income of wedding photographers ranges from several hundred to several thousand per wedding.

Third, provide post-photography services.

Being a photography assistant is a good choice for people who are not prepared to shoot the whole wedding.

Assistants are very useful in all situations. For example, fashion photographers need help with props, equipment and specific shooting styles. Wedding photographers need photography assistants to capture more candid moments and group photos. Photographers in the studio need assistants to help set the lights and adjust the reflectors.

Fourth, sell photos.

If you like to shoot at your own pace and work independently, then selling photos is one of the sources of income that a photographer needs to consider.

Every time you download your picture, the cooperative copyright platform will pay you a fee. These platforms have millions of interested customers and unique opportunities to sell your photos. You can submit photos from your trip, other photos taken or specific images of ethnic minorities. Over time, you will accumulate a large number of photos, which may bring good income.

Create a photography home page

Cultivating the audience is one of the most important aspects in a photographer's career. It is very important to get fans to support your work and help promote your business. This will help you get the first customers and open the right door for you to grow into a photographer.

One way to build an audience is through the photography homepage blog. You can post about your experience, recent updates or anything in between.

Once your fans start to grow, you can use your blog to make money in many ways, mainly by attracting new customers. From enterprises to individuals, you can be found through your content.

Other ideas for making money from your blog may be: advertising, partners, selling printed matter/photo albums or product reviews.

Sixth, open live broadcast.

It is important to build an audience, but for some people, it may be more interesting to build an audience through video blogs or video content.

Open a live account to record your travels and adventures as a photographer and share them with the world. Update your fans about the way you shoot, the tools you use, and other issues that they may need to build interest and participation.

With more and more fans, you can earn income and support your work in many ways. Similar to the blog homepage, you can profit from your live broadcast through advertising and brand partnership.

Seven, photography peripheral products sales

As a photographer, you can sell digital products, photographic peripheral products and so on. And guide them to buy in your own shop by analyzing fans, especially for beginners who need to buy photographic equipment, which is also a big income.

How to make money by making videos?

Try to shoot your favorite videos according to your own conditions, simply send them to the corresponding video websites, and get some income through the click rate.

You can also run a series or online drama to form a better traceability, which is conducive to obtaining the sponsorship of advertisers and advertising through videos. High-quality movies can enhance their influence and popularity through free viewing, laying the foundation for going to the cinema in the future.

Nowadays, many entertainment companies increase their fans and views. Once it reaches a certain value, advertisers will come to the door. Another is to make your own video and sell it, just like those materials in the later stage of the video.

At present, there are many material websites in China, such as VJ division. If they can shoot good-looking materials or videos that others will need, they can upload them to make money and set their own prices.

What are the good ways and means to make money through photography?

I'm ashamed that I have spent so much time playing photography that I can't make ends meet. The money spent on equipment is comparable to that earned by Qian Duoduo through photography. However, I am confident that I can overtake with time!

It is not difficult to make money through photography, and I hope that every friend who really likes photography can find his own means to achieve it, because realizing his own ability is not only the embodiment of his own ability, but also a good direction to improve his own ability!

Combining with my own experience, I try to give you some ideas to realize through photography!

First, the premise of realizing photography

1, with certain photographic ability.

This is a prerequisite. If it is still in the primary stage, it is necessary to learn photography knowledge and accumulate photography experience, and then consider the realization of photography after accumulating shutter times and shooting works that satisfy you and make others clap their hands.

2. Let others know your photography ability.

If you are a good cook, you have to let people know, or no one will ask you to take pictures. There are many ways to publicize, and the most common one is to expose your own beautiful pictures in the circle of friends. Of course, you must choose carefully and don't hand over photos that you are not satisfied with.

In addition, taking some photos for people for free is also a good way of publicity. For example, I filmed a charity event for the wife of a company boss for free. I didn't take any money, but I made him feel that my work was better, and I was serious. Later, I was asked to film the annual meeting of their company.

Also, for example, when your skills are not mature, you can find the opportunity to shoot people by mutual exemption, so that your ability to shoot people can be improved quickly.

3. Have confidence and don't feel inferior.

Of course, the premise of self-confidence must be strength. Don't think that your labor is worthless, but have a correct judgment of your own value. Then when someone wants to take a photo with you, you can confidently and naturally say the price. In fact, this is a matter of course, because you have contributed your strength and equipment, and you have also made efforts, haven't you?

Second, the realization path of photography

1, filming activities

For enterprises, recording important activities and showing them to the outside world is a necessary process for the spread of corporate culture and corporate image. This is a rigid demand, which is needed by almost every enterprise.

Of course, some companies may not require filming insiders. Generally, large-scale enterprises will find someone to shoot it, so the effect will be much better.

Like myself, one year before the Spring Festival, I participated in activities three times a week. Although very tired, but the income of these activities add up, you can also buy a lens. More importantly, in this high-intensity shooting process, it is still very training, and I feel better and better after shooting.

Of course, if you want to shoot a good activity, you'd better buy a flash. For example, last year, I wanted to take wedding photos for a couple. Specially bought a flashlight and a lamp holder to combine into a lighting system. Of course, it is worth the money, and the effect is much better.

Step 2 sell photos online

There are many photo library websites on the Internet, such as Tumbler, 500px and so on. If you have confidence in your photos, you can choose to register these photo libraries. Of course, you have to take out the best photos you think and upload them for approval. If you pass, you can upload photos to the photo gallery.

In this way, when someone sees your work in the photo library and thinks it is suitable for them, they will buy the copyright from the photo library, and after paying the fee, the platform will collect it for you in parts according to the regulations.

Besides, look over here. This is the main way for some masters to realize cash. They can often sell a photo to four or five figures, and they often sell well.

At present, I have signed a contract with Tuchong himself, and my current income is pitiful because I don't upload many works. I mention it here mainly to prove that this method is true and the operation is relatively normal.

3. From the media

This is the main channel for me to realize cash now. When you saw this article, it was the result of my hard work. (I feel good after reading it, remember to forward my favorite collection comments! )

When creating from the media, you can choose to send pictures, videos, micro-headlines and other topics, and the income of content is positively related to the amount of reading. And if you want to read a lot, the content of natural articles is better. These contents can be photographic works, photography teaching, equipment analysis and so on.

Since the media, I mainly publish the content of equipment selection and photography knowledge. Thanks to the love of fans, my reading is not bad and I have a little income.

For example, some pictures and texts about photography have won the Qingyun plan and thousands of dollars, which is really a big supplement!

4. Photography training

Some people are more suitable to be teachers, because they have strong language skills and can share the experience and lessons of photography. Or let beginners learn photography knowledge systematically.

You can get a good income through training. The specific form can be online teaching or offline teaching. Of course, some people, under the banner of training, actually want to recommend some flashy equipment, which requires everyone to be careful.

Step 5 take part in the competition

Don't underestimate competition. As far as I know, there are some elderly friends who have more than ten years of shooting experience and are quite capable. Moreover, they will pay attention to the information of photography competitions around the country, have rich experience in participating in the competition, and often win various awards.

On the one hand, it is an affirmation of one's ability, and at the same time, the prize money won in the competition is still good.

Third, don't underestimate the realization of photography.

Some people may be dismissive of the realization of photography, thinking that photography is art and artistic accomplishment cannot be measured by money. But in fact, someone paid you to take pictures, or your photos were bought, which is the greatest affirmation of your photographic ability.

1, prove your ability

Some friends are immersed in creation and have no objective judgment on their own level. It is easy to show your strengths and weaknesses together in the process by participating in more competitions or fighting more.

And when your work is brilliant, there will naturally be more people to give you more opportunities.

2. Better investment in equipment renewal.

Whether it is a SLR or a micro-single, it needs continuous investment, so photography is a hobby that burns money. When you can benefit from photography, it is obviously more convincing to convince yourself and your family to invest this money in updating equipment.

3. Find the pleasure of photography

In the world of photography, it is not always happy. When you encounter a bottleneck in photography, you may feel bored in a flash. When you achieve it through photography, it is also the highest way for others to affirm your photographic ability, so it will definitely stimulate your creative desire.

4. Become a slash youth

How many people regard sideline as their main business. I believe that most people are unlikely to become professional photographers. But it is still possible to turn photography into a part-time job. At the same time, these extra incomes are not only for individuals or families, but also for their continued efforts in photography.

At the same time, it would be great if this hobby didn't impact the original main business, but wouldn't it be happier if one day the sideline business became brilliant?
