Excited to see this bowl! Anyone here professionally curious e.g. shooting as an amateur but weighing going full time as a commercial photog? I shoot film and digital and once I’m out of debt and can create a safety net I’m strongly considering it

Considered it a bit after graduating, but it really seemed like it would have to be a side gig for a long (long) time. The safety net would definitely make it more feasible

Yeah and I could freelance doing my day job function as I got up to speed. My main hang up is the healthcare system in America. Once my partner had a job that offers insurance it will seem much more realistic.

Isn't the market too crowded and too saturated already? I think it's extremely difficult to succeed as a new photographer now. Everyone who has a smart phone can be a photographer and you really no longer need a PRO camera to sell photos. I'd stick to photography as my hobby, but not my job

It’s more about knowing how to run a set and have a point of view on the world no one else has. At least, as a commercial photographer.

But yes local wedding and portrait photographers are a dime a dozen. If the skill floor keeps going up due to cheap gear, you gotta find ways to make yourself valuable.

I would consider doing both. You can keep your “day job” and shoot on the weekends for people or during off hours. If you become SO busy shooting that you don’t have time for your day job, then you can make the leap. I worked for a number of years as a photographer’s assistant and only went out on my own when I started getting consistent assignments.
