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?

    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.
