I’m the creative director of a photography studio and I love creating work for clients. I love that it’s a part of my day-to-day life. I love that I get to be creative and put it all out there to see what people think. I also love that I get to create my own work.
When I was in junior high, I decided I wanted to be a photographer. I was told that I would never be good at it. I was told that I had to learn to be creative. I was told that I had to learn to be a person first. I was told that photography was not for me. I was told that I would never make money doing it.
I’m not sure where this is coming from, but I always wonder if I’m not doing photography just to make money. And that’s only one of the many reasons that makes me feel bad about this industry.
Photography is a legitimate art form that is a great outlet for creativity. But as a business it is also a business, and as such it will be very hard for studios to make money in the long run. A lot of photographers and studios have already given up on their creative endeavors but just as many of us will continue to work in the industry to make a living. We can also make money by working as a team or as a business.
I don’t know what the future holds for photography, but I do know that it will get a lot harder to make money now that the studios that do have the money to afford a good studio have no one left to pay them.
This is the problem with photography. It’s not just about being able to be financially stable. It’s also about being creative and having fun. It’s about having a good time. With the current economic climate, not only have most people given up on creative pursuits, they’ve also given up on doing so on a personal level. You can’t just sit down and do something new. I’ve seen many people who have been so in love with photography that they’ve stopped making money at it.
The problem with studio berry photography is that it’s currently a very niche genre. A genre that is being overtaken by younger photographers who are actually making money. Like, say, the big kids in high school who are now producing amazing street photography.
So where does this leave us? I think that we’re right where we are and we need to find a way to keep creating and keep making money. We need some new outlet for our creative endeavors.
That’s right I said something along those lines on my previous post. I’m here to tell you that these new outlets are not coming from within the photographer’s studio. They are coming from other photographers who are willing to invest their own time and talent to help us take the genre that we’re missing to the next level. We need to get back to the roots.
There’s a saying that says “you can’t go home again.” But that should be more like, “you can’t go home again. You can go home again. You can go home again. You can go home again.
