I was hiking last week with my camera and when I reached the summit this couple approached me and asked me if I could take a couple pictures of them and asked me how much it would be. I've never charged for a picture so I said it was free, but they insisted and gave me $20 for like 10 pictures. This left me wondering and I started doing some research. I found out people pay THOUSANDS for shitty wedding pictures, also those shitty car pictures with tons of filters on them, people actually charge money for that stuff. What the heck? does this mean I can actually make money with my camera?

Only if you buy the newest one and the biggest lens otherwise your photos are suddenly bad even if they look the sameIf it werent for normies mirrorless wouldnt sell and we’d all still shoot film

People pay for a crafty photographer like for a good plumber or any other craftsman . Apply the appropriate formula and consistently deliver satisfactory result to client. It's the art which does not pay, nobody would want a plumber who builds works of art from pipes.

This kid paid me $300 for 3 hours of my time. We went around taking pictures of his car. Easiest money I've ever made.

I have similar memory >Be me >Roaming around club street or something at night >Entrance room before a public toilettes, funky graffiti >Owooooo im gonna street shooooot >Some mildly drunk middle eastern? or spanish dude exits from the toilettes >He notices me and i let him move along first but he insists >Ohh take picture me! picture me! >So we go a 5 minutes photography session around the entrance and near stair >Download the pics to my phone via app, send the pics via airdrop >He asks me how much for the pictures? >I say no money >He says thank you a dozen timesOf cause he was kinda drunk but he was oozing out of le bro energy so much. I regret that i should have take more pictures of him. I was so passive and introverted(still am) i didn't lead him well as a photographer.
