19-10-2021 • 3 mins

When you entered the world of photography, you probably dreamed of photographing people every day. And then it turned out that most of the time you have to do all kinds of things that you don’t care about. Like marketing, emailing, and setting up workflows and systems. You have to igure out what to charge and how you update your website. I want to help you so you can spend less time chasing down new clients, and more time doing the creative things you love.

I want you to know that it is possible to make a good living from photography. Also, you are allowed to charge money even though you’re doing something you love. That is despite what you might be told by those around you.

Every other episode will be featuring someone I want you to get to know. Someone who’s got a lot to share with you. We’ll cover topics like branding, money, education, social media and so much more.

But I wanted to do something more. So – welcome to my brand new podcast “Sustainable Photography”. I’m so glad you’re listening.

Photographers like us are overworked. And that you’re not making as much money as you want, or even need. I know you’re dreaming of fun shoots with people who love everything you do. I want you to know that it is possible to make a good living from photography. And that you are allowed to charge money even though you’re doing something you love.
