I’ve always wanted to do photography full time and now that my chance is here I’m having doubts. I do pretty well on the side of my 9-5 but just can’t seem to figure what it will be like if I can’t pull in enough to match my 9-5. my wife does well at her job and said it wouldn’t matter but that’s right now. I also want to retire someday. any advice from people who shoot full time?
You have Teams calls for photography? What are you doing in these calls?
Talking to clients. Just had one yesterday that had 4 people on it.
An account rep, a contract specialist, an AAD and the AD.
All so they could say “yeah your insurance is good, we will reach out with a SOW sometime next month and propose a schedule.”
Just because you leave the corporate world doesn’t mean your clients do
I have thankfully never worked in the corporate world. All my clients are architects who are generally pretty informal and easy work with, but they tend to move at a glacial pace. That’s a side effect of all your projects taking years to complete I guess.
Creative concepting, pre production planning, etc
