12 Reasons Why Professional Photography Is the
Ideal Way for You to Make Serious Money!

  • 1. Charge Out Rates: Photographers make very good money. The minimum rates for Freelance Photographers, as approved by the Australian Media Alliance for 2008, are as follows:
    These are just minimum rates! A Photographer can charge as much as their clients are willing to pay
  • 2. Low start-up costs: All you need to start is your basic digital camera with manual controls and a flash that you probably already own, could easily buy (new or second hand). You also need a phone and some basic office stationery.
  • 3. Work from Home: You don’t need a shop front to be a Professional Photographer. You can run your business from a spare room or even from your kitchen table. You can easily mix a home-based Photography business with study, raising a family, a full-time job or a part-time job.
  • 4. Be your own boss: Imagine it. You’re the boss. All the profits belong to you. You set your prices, your hours, your work schedule and your assignments. There’s no limit to your income apart from your time and how much time and effort you put into it. You can work some-times, part time, full-time or all the time. The choice is all yours.
  • 5. Big Demand: There is a huge demand for good photographs. Every business must go onto the web or be left behind and all of them need photos of themselves and their products. People need Photographers! Good Photographers are in very high demand and customers come to them. Good Photographers will “pick and choose” their jobs. You can take photographs for:
    • Advertising Agencies
    • Galleries Regional
    • Australian Magazines
    • Graphic Designers
    • Book Publishers
    • Magazines
    • Small to Large Businesses

  • 6. Work Anywhere In the World: Photography is a universal language. You can work anywhere in the world � all you need is your camera. The whole world is your market!
  • 7. Travel: Travel and adventure attracts many Photographers. You can travel the world photographing nature and scenery, interesting places, interesting people and interesting events. Advertising, Photojournalism and travel offer a unique opportunity to earn good money while you travel. Imagine being paid while you travel.
  • 8. Peace and Quiet: If you’re the quiet type, and prefer working alone, then you could become a Landscape and Nature Photographer, a fine Arts Photographer or an Architectural Photographer. You can have all the peace and quiet you want, while still earning good money.
  • 9. Variety: Let’s face it. Most jobs are boring. You do the same old thing every day, every week, every month, every year, right? You look forward to holidays just so you can do something different. Something interesting Photography offers a huge amount of variety. In the morning, you could be photographing a home for a real estate agent. After morning tea an executive portrait (mostly for their business cards or reports) in the afternoon, you could be photographing a family. After afternoon tea it could be a couple of product shots for the web simple!
  • 10. Prestige and Respect: Photographers are respected for their high level of artistic skill and technical knowledge. If anyone asks you what you do for a living, you can say in all honesty, “I’m a Professional Photographer”. People will hold you in high esteem.
  • 11. Equality: It doesn’t matter how old you are. It doesn’t matter what sex you are. It doesn’t matter what race you are. It doesn’t matter what you look like.

  • 8. Easy Work: A common belief is that Photographers need to shoot absolutely stunning, artistic, prize-winning photographs to make good money. This is not true. Your photographs must be good, but they don’t need to be absolutely perfect. And it’s not hard backbreaking work either. We will teach you every step you need.
