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? 😅

Your first problem is you're taking advice from Andrew Tate, who is a world-class douche who is in love with his own reflection. He's a shit bag.

You're young and you're still measuring wealth in dollars. I'm not seeing passion for photography or anything else here except your desire use it as a mechanism to make a million dollars. It's possible but unless you're Annie Leibovitz and have a time machine it's unlikely.

Nobody wants to be a "starving artist". Hell, nobody wants to be a starving anything, but you're doing yourself a disservice by being this shallow.
