Honestly there is no free lunch, in fact being a full-time professional freelance photographer is one of the MOST UN-FREE "lunches" out there these days. The whole industry got this vibe about it back in 2002-2007 when the economy was booming, that wedding photography etc. could be this easy-peasy cash cow. Not anymore. Gone are the stories of "oh, one thing led to another and we booked 60 weddings our first year without really trying" No, with today's competitive low-end market you're lucky if you get 60 weddings in your first FIVE YEARS as a "pro".<br /><br />It's a rewarding career, but only if you pay your dues and bust your ass just like every OTHER career.<br /><br />=Matt=Matthew Savillehttp://slrlounge.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3794365554036681248.post-32172703328105639852012-04-06T18:20:10.380-07:002012-04-06T18:20:10.380-07:00Thanks for sharing, Love.
