Just our thoughts on going to college if you’re interested in starting your own photography business. These are our opinions based on our own personal experiences, we are not experts! At the end of the day, it’s your own decision, follow what’s best for what you want to do!
Sorry for the dark film! We are in super busy season right now so had to squeeze filming into the night & don’t have the right lights for it 🙂 we also had to keep our voices down as to not wake Ali’s little ones!
Okay! So, with all that was said, YES it’s definitely true that you can teach yourself how to become a professional photographer without needing school training or a certificate saying “you’re a professional photographer,” but there’s also nothing wrong with studying or majoring in photography either, so if you want to do that, go for it! It’s also possible that you can teach yourself a lot about business without having a degree in business as well.
Here are some business books that we think are worth looking into for photography business owners:
Selling the Invisible by Harry Beckwith:
The E-Myth Revisited by Michael E. Gerber:
The Fast Track Photographer by Dane Sanders:
