Become a Professional Photographer

Get Paid to Take Photographs

Imagine having a high-paying career that lets you use your creativity to take photographs of people, recording forever their images and their lives. Welcome to the exciting world of the professional photographer.

About a Career as a Professional Photographer

When you become a professional photographer and start your own photography business you will have freedom, flexibility, and independence.

As a professional photographer you can work in an indoor studio, or you can choose to shoot photographs at peoples' homes, event locations, or outdoors. You might even have your own home-based studio.

When you become a professional photographer, you will have many career options. In the FabJob Guide to Become a Professional Photographer you will discover how you can start your own photography business and succeed in the popular and profitable areas of portrait photography and wedding photography.

When you think of portrait photography, you may be inspired by the work of celebrity portrait photographers like Annie Liebovitz, or the heartwarming sleepy infants of Anne Geddes. Or perhaps you admire the photojournalistic style of star photographer Denis Reggie, who has been called “America's premier wedding photographer” by American Photo Magazine and “the best in the business” by Oprah Winfrey.

Your own unique style of portrait or wedding photography will be your greatest asset in the photography business.

As a professional photographer with your own portrait and wedding photography business you could offer all types of photography services, or you might choose to specialize in the types of photographs that you most enjoy taking. For example, you could choose to offer photography services such as:

  • family portraits
  • wedding photography
  • headshots for models and actors
  • portraits of business executives
  • high school graduation photos
  • photographs of pets
  • portraits of children
  • pregnancy photography
  • baby portraits
  • photos for real estate agents
  • glamour photography
  • special event photography (e.g. anniversary parties, birthdays, religious ceremonies, private parties, etc.)
  • home and business photography

Professional photography is a great business to get into right now. The U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics predicts the studio photography business will continue to grow over the next ten years. With more inexpensive and user-friendly digital cameras hitting the market every day, there's never been a better time to become a professional photographer.

As long as you have the desire, you can become a professional photographer and start your own photography business doing portrait photography or wedding photography or both.

Of course, it takes hard work, creativity, and good business sense to achieve success as a professional photographer, but you can break into this career and start your own photography business much more quickly and easily with the FabJob Guide to Become a Professional Photographer.

    Mike Copeman, professional photographer

    When I used to have a job – a real job, working as a boilermaker – there were times I used to dread Monday mornings. Since I started working as a photographer, I never had another day like that. Working for yourself is scary at first, but the gratification is unlike anything else in this world.” (Mike is one of the professional photographers who give advice in the FabJob Guide to Become a Professional Photographer to help you become a professional photographer and start your own photography business.)

    Natalie Pool, Germany:
