A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Can you make Millions off a photography business?? (alien.top)

Before anyone judges me, yes I am a dumb 19 year old who has watched too much Andrew Tate and all the other self improvement gurus talk about being rich. This has lead me down to a very confusing hole.

Anyhow, can you actually make Millions off a photography business? If so how?

I have 4 years of experience and now I am on the search for a photography job for the time being.

I for the most part have been using photography as a tool to make connections with wealthy people. I want to own nice cars, so what do I do? I go up to people who have them and ask for a photo shoot so that they have a reason to talk to me.

This genuinely can ever get me so far. But man its been confusing me for a while.

As I am still learning and I just started to do this connections thing I am wondering if anyone here has a similar problem to me? 😅

Sorry but the reason i’m a photographer is that i want to produce great images and be a creative person. Wanting nice cars is fine but they’re not the reason you want to get into photography.

If you want millions you there are many boring business opportunities available. Your soul will be drained but your bank accounts will be full

Yeah, I'm sure you would be really happy being poor as hell from being a photographer as long as your creative side was well nourished.
