Do you make a living as a wedding photographer?
I'm interested in hearing from people around the world on their thoughts
regarding choosing wedding photography as a vocation. If you could take a moment to answer these questions, I would be most appreciative of your input. 1. Where do you see yourself on the socio-economic scale regarding your income? i.e. well above average, above average, average, below average, well below average. 2. Do you do it full time as your only source of income or purely as a part-time supplement to existing income? If you are doing it full time, do you only do weddings? If not, what percentage of your income do weddings provide? 3. How many weddings do you do annually? 4. How long did it take to establish yourself in the market? What marketing techniques did you use? i.e. if advertising, where did you advertise? 5. Do you find it a rewarding profession? In other words, do you feel you could have done something else instead of doing weddings? 6. What do you base your pricing on? 7. Do you find it very competitive to remain active in this field? 8. What size market are you working in? i.e. Do you have to travel extensively to get commissions or are you in a big enough centre to remain locally based? 9. What kind of output do you provide your customers? i.e. do you simply provide prints or do you also compile their albums in addition to other offerings, such as CD ROMs, video, etc. 10. What format equipment have you chosen and why? Thanks. -- DD www.dallasdahms.com Central Scrutinizer |
