Default Re: How does a portrait photographer make a living?

Waple.....I have done this work all my life and done rather well with it.....
Basically I decided on 3 major no-compromise things:

1. Be able to produce insightful and original images for my clients. They are distinctive and most local people know my style at a glance.

2. Charge carriage trade prices, because that is what I sell.

3. No client will ever receive the same sitting/setup/location as any other client. Ever. Unless that's what they want.

It has worked for many years.....
