Before anyone judges me, yes I am a dumb 19 year old who has watched too much Andrew Tate and all the other self improvement gurus talk about being rich. This has lead me down to a very confusing hole.
Anyhow, can you actually make Millions off a photography business? If so how?
I have 4 years of experience and now I am on the search for a photography job for the time being.
I for the most part have been using photography as a tool to make connections with wealthy people. I want to own nice cars, so what do I do? I go up to people who have them and ask for a photo shoot so that they have a reason to talk to me.
This genuinely can ever get me so far. But man its been confusing me for a while.
As I am still learning and I just started to do this connections thing I am wondering if anyone here has a similar problem to me? 😅

i think you’re issue isn’t how to make a million. the problem is the people and voices you’ve let influence you.
i guarantee that mindset is going to make for a very difficult, shallow, unsatisfactory life. trust me.
My advice is stop listening to Andrew Tate
- Andrew Tate
Lol, first world problems
- Millions of photography
Nah dawg, ain’t gonna happen. In photography you invest in skills, gear and hope for the best. Very few get their shot, even fewer make it count and even like that it’s not like zomg teh millions. Art generally tends to make you poor rather than rich and photography is no exception.
Get a job
Already have man, I have saved up a good amount. So what’s your point?
Sorry but the reason i’m a photographer is that i want to produce great images and be a creative person. Wanting nice cars is fine but they’re not the reason you want to get into photography.
If you want millions you there are many boring business opportunities available. Your soul will be drained but your bank accounts will be full
Sorry but the reason i’m a photographer is that i want to produce great images and be a creative person.
Yeah, I’m sure you would be really happy being poor as hell from being a photographer as long as your creative side was well nourished.
The hate on Tate here is funny. Sure, he says dumb stuff but he also tells you things that can help you on your journey to become succesful. Don’t believe in everything he saya but also keep stay open minded and seek or create opportunities like he did.
I think it’s possible to become a millionaire with photography but not with shooting alone. You probably need a business around the subject photography. Create content, maybe your own brand focused on a photography etc.
As everyone here has said, please stop listening to Andrew Tate (and anyone even remotely like him).
These guys will NOT help you become rich, or successful, or confident around women.
What they will do is make you frustrated, materialistic, misogynistic, scared, misinformed, and angry and overall turn you into a shitty person.
I’m serious, they will poison your mind in ways you cannot comprehend. Get out while you can and find some positive influences instead.
Probably not
There’s nothing wrong with have “pie in the sky” goals. What’s the worst that can happen.
I do feel, however, that you need to stop watching people like Andrew Tate. He feeds off your insecurities and sells you impossible ideals. He basically makes money off your delusions. And he is really not a nice person and a not a role model at all.
Surround yourself with really people - local photographers in your niche - and work from there. Real connections and hard work is the only way you’ll get somewhere in life.
It’s possible. But not for someone who’s watched too much Andrew Tate.
This whole post would be more at home on r/photographycirclejerk
If you sell an overpriced photography course, then yes you can
I drive a very nice car and if some random teen asked for a photoshoot, I’d walk or drive away. I don’t want people I don’t know to get deep into my life.
Sure, use your father’s name to start a nationwide chain of family photo studios. Treat employees like shit and allow for 0 customer service. Then once you’re nationwide, shut down in the middle of the night and disappear.
You can make millions as an actor, singer songwriter. Same with photography. But there is 1000% an easier way to make millions. So if it is about the millons. I would suggest to look out for another route :)
Yes, absolutely. You need to run it like any other successful business. Your skills with a camera are irrelevant.
