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.

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? 😅

Maybe take that AUD80k (if that’s true) and invest it instead of blowing it on a car which is a depreciating asset.

Maybe. I'll have to see

Well he's following guys like Tate. So I'd assume that smart decision aren't high on his priority list. He should invest in his education. Thats what he should do with 19 years.

80k on education is probably the worst use of that money.

I mean if he has limited cognitive abilities the 80K will help him ;)

I think I understand how bad the internet is now

You should start understanding how good it is. With specific exceptions, there is almost nothing you cannot learn online. More efficiently and at your pace. A huge number of teaching styles.

The key is that experience is always more valuable than passing a class.
