Advice for New Freelance Photographers

Tips for New Freelance Photographers
Freelance Photography is often underpaid and undervalued.
Making it as a Freelancer is tough for Photographers and Artist.

But on occasion new freelance photographers are making mistakes that are getting in their way. For one thing ,Freelance Photographers should charge a deposit for their work and should charge for editing. Not doing so is a path to not necessarily being taken seriously by paying clients.

Marketing and promoting yourself as a photographer is essential in this day and age, and freelance photographers should be marketing in social media and doing local marketing and networking. I can’t stress this enough, in fact, I did an entire speaking engagement about this topic at ShutterFest.

Editing is something that a few photographers are resisting still, but it gives you a unique style to market yourself with and stand out from the crowd. However, this is an opportunity for freelance photographers to pick up additional work editing for people who are primarily shooters. I have a good friend that would rather shoot than edit and my advice to her was to outsource her editing for Photography and DSLR Video.
