>>4478978Other side: I see a pro get paid for workshops.
Client I know from my work is a birder who has been in Nat Geo a few times and is routinely in a bunch of Aussie photo mags. He's currently is on "holiday" with his wife and a client of his up in Queensland. The client is paying $5000 for a week of shadowing the dude around while he teaches him shit and they hunt rarer birds. That $5000 covers the trip, his and his wifes' spending while there, and he said he'll still come back with several grand for a week of work after everything.
I think most of what he teaches his clients is how to find specific birds and the paitence to find a good shot. He goes over technique and stuff as well from what I understand but I was flabbergasted when he told me how much he charges; not that I don't think he's not worth it, but that I'm pretty sure I could get 80% of the way with individual research and practice.
Anyway, I'm pretty sure you browse this board Martin. I want to see pics when you get back.
