We all love photography, we are all familiar with gear, and we know how to shitpost. But how the fuck do we make money. Do you make money on shoots? What do you do, how did it start? Do yo u make money elsewhere and snap shit on the side?

I thinks /p could benefit from a intelligent thread and share our business knowledge to make photography a living like so many others do.

That being said I am interested in the commercial side, so products and studios and whatnot. I have assisted for a little bit, but fucked up somewhere and have not been called back. Networking is a huge aspect of the photo biz (anyone interested in starting a /p Slack ch.??) but how do you talk work as a lover of photography as well? Do you even talk about potential gigs, and if so when?

I have so many questions and think that there may be more you out there with similar ones.
