In times like this when a global pandemic has caused a shift in the economy, it is only wise to put your eggs in different baskets to stay afloat, survive and thrive. For the creative industry like photography, it is no different. The rise in the use of smartphones for photography as well as ever-increasing technology in documenting moments and times has created a battle digital cameras have to fight to win with every new entry of smartphones into the market. Also, the increasing number of skilled photographers and amateurs who are willing to be paid anything poses a competitive threat to the pro photographer who charge high amounts for their time and expert skill. Going by the number of photographers present online, the market is becoming saturated as well as competitive too with people acquiring skills to keep at the forefront.
As a pro photographer, it is important to start looking at ways to create multiple income asides from what you regularly do. Now there are tons of choices within and outside the photography space and creative industry as a whole, from selling stock images to value-added services such as photo frames/ portraits and photo books. Not excluding sales of E-books, preset master classes as well as training aspiring photographers. The streams are endless as far you think so.
One rising aspect of diversification is rental within the photography industry. By renting out your studio space, equipment such as light stands, softboxes even cameras can fetch a lot of income for you as a pro-photographer. We all know how pricy photography equipment can be, it would make sense if they could be investments with great returns rather than live out their days waiting for the next best market entry. You should consider investing in getting a space you can choose to furnish/equip it or not, or putting up your space for rental when it is not in use.
