Other tips for making money with photography covered in this video: Network with other photographers. Get to know some photographers in your field, or that are close to you geographically. Not every photographer is going to be willing to help you out or give you their secrets, but most will. The more people you know, the more chance you have of building a successful photography business. Networking is a great way to increase your income. You can suggest other photographers you know to clients who’s jobs you just don’t have time for, or are maybe not in your field of photography. Likewise, they will do the same for you. Approach local businesses. You can offer to do headshots, photos of their workplace or shop, or get together a portfolio of product shots and approach business that sell products and may need photos. A lot of small businesses might not be able to do their own photography and you can get your foot in the door here.
