Becoming a professional photographer is not as easy as it seems, KEE friends. There are many challenges such as whether you can maintain your passion for photography, or whether you are ready to take the work that comes and complete it..
Many amateur photographers have better skills and photo results than professional photographers. Usually the passion for professional photographers is lost because they are busy offering services, looking for subscriptions, and taking care of other areas that need to be done in developing a business. You can create personal projects to keep this passion alive.
Maybe you could try to keep working at a company and do your hobby of photography on holidays. Or if you want to upgrade to become a professional photographer, you can continue working for the company while taking existing jobs until you feel you can run the business more steadily.
The ability to run a business is also a talent. Some photographers also have the ability to run a business, but maybe not many. Maybe there are also amateur photographers but they are successful in selling their services and have many clients. If you lack skills in running a business, you can try working with someone who is an expert in marketing, for example. Never hesitate to ask other people for help. You can consider sharing the results with these colleagues or giving a commission for each project obtained. That way, you can concentrate more fully on your skills.
The important thing to remember is to do your job well so that clients are satisfied because they can refer your business to others. Don't underestimate the power of the word of mouth strategy because it is very effective for your business.
