The Business of Photography Dana Coyhis

- Arts
Just how do photographers make money? We weren't exactly sure, so we called up a few of them to find out. The Business of Photography podcast (presented by Roasted Pepper Studios) looks at the actual business of photography through interviews with professional and amateur photographers. These conversations give us a peek at what it takes to run a photography business, and discuss some of the obstacles these photographers face. Please forgive some of the low quality recordings; we were focused more on the quality of the content than on the microphones.

He reminds us that it is wise to keep a day job if the prospects of making money by photography alone are slim, and to be careful when entering a profession that is becoming increasingly crowded.
