Freelance Photography:How To Begin Your Career
By Colin Hartness
Photography is a vast world. There are many different types of photography and many different kinds of people that enjoy it. It’s a hobby that be relatively inexpensive or one that you can invest a lot of money on. Photos are so special because they give us memories of times and places and events in our lives. We can hold onto these memories forever with a photograph.
As much as people love photos, many people love taking them even more. Whether It’s a mother who takes photos at every of her children’s moments in life (first smile, first step, first spaghetti meal) or maybe It’s the father who never forgets his camera for a football or basketball game, or maybe It’s the young girl who loves nature hikes with her camera; these people are not exceptions. They all have an eye for those special moments and they all appreciate the camera’s ability to capture that moment and freeze it in time forever.
What is Freelance Photography?
What if you love photography so much you wish you could do it for a living? I mean, you actually get paid for your photographs! But you work solely for yourself, selling each photo or series of photos individually. You don’t have a boss. You work sometimes on assignment and you may sell to magazines. That is freelance photography.
Freelance photography may be your entire career or it may start out as something you do in your spare time but begin making money from it. It’s just like freelance writing in this sense that many people turn it into a career and enjoy the freedom of working essentially for themselves on their own time and making money doing something they love doing anyway.
How to Build a Portfolio
To start getting jobs as a freelance photographer, you need a portfolio. A portfolio will show samples of your work. Even if you have never had photographs published or publicly displayed, you can start a portfolio of your best work and then add onto it if you win photography contests or start receiving paid work.
How to Get Jobs
As we mentioned, building a portfolio is the first step in submitting your work for pay but when it comes right down to it, It’s the quality of the photo that will determine if you get paid for it. Some people have more of a natural talent for taking great pictures than others but it is a skill that anyone can learn. There are schools dedicated to the art of photography and you can even get a degree in it. If you are just getting started, you can look into classes provided by your local community center or community college. Some cities have photography groups that meet to share photos and tips. There are also many groups online dedicated to photography and freelance photography.
You need to view as many famous photographs as possible. Take a look at what is getting published and compare it to your own photos. This allows you to compare and learn from other’s work. It takes more than just point and shoot to get a great photo. You need to learn about focus, lighting, colors and backgrounds and much more.
Once you start learning about photography and creating a portfolio, you can start submitting your photos to contests and magazines. Get a list of photography markets and start submitting to ones that accept your type of photos. Don’t expect to make it to the big times right away. Few people actually achieve this but you can start small and eventually make your way into a nice living from freelance photography.

Hello,
Do you have a phone number I could call you from to talk more detail into photography questions? I’m very, very young and want to be a photographer after high school. I’m planning on going to college while working at maybe a Kmart photography place or something. I really love photography but I have little money and resources. My camera is a phone, we don’t have any in the house. I want to do freelance photography on people and nature. I have so many questions that if I typed it, you’d be reading for a month or so. If you do have a number I could call, it would be ever so helpful. Thank you.

I am a full time employee, photography is a hobby and I have been doing it for a couple of years. I have learned techniques over time. I have a portfolio online which I mainly use for feedback. However I would like to break into freelancing. My question is, how do i market myself?

Hi RPBA,
Determine what type of photography you want to do, define a niche for yourself. Then approach sales channels, people or companies that might need that type of photography. You might want to offer your services for free initially, or on consignment (pay later if your like it), just to get some work going. Then you can build out your business.
Best wishes,
Andrew

Sir I’m from India. Though I’m now in college and this year is gonna be my last year. I’m 21 and I just love to take pictures and snatch moments from out there. Yes, it’s true that it’s a vast world so each and every corner we can see or find many special moments or objects or people that can surprise us. Now it’s pretty high time for me to choose my career, so I decided to be a photographer. It’s not that photography is only a hobby for me. Day and day out I spend my time to think that what, why and how I’m gonna start my career upon that. Parents do not support me for certain reasons but I do really want to make my career upon that. One thing what I’ve realized that “Photography gives you Freedom, Freedom to explore the moments what is happening around the world.” I love traveling so there have been always a wish that to travel the entire world. I hope you understand how much I adore photography. So have I got enough time to be a professional photographer? How can I start from the beginning?

Please help!

You do not need to go to a film academy.
Start local. Take photos of travel subjects near where you live. Find photographs that you admire and try to copy the style. There are many websites where you can learn about photography for free.

Hi Teagan,
Both! I like the idea of a website — you could write and post articles about your travels. That would give you experience and exposure.
Many publications publish travel articles. Look in the travel section of local newspapers and magazines. See what types of articles they publish, and the approximate word length (e.g. 600 words). Then write and submit something similar, along with some photos. Since you’re just starting, offer a “non-exclusive license” at no cost. If they accept your article, although you won’t get paid, you can see your work in print and have something to add to your resume.

Hello Andrew,
I have a question. I have already taken that first step and has already established a portfolio that includes celebrities, presidential candidates, and a host of other iconic things. I have been contracted through The Weather Channel and New York Daily News. I have had my work featured on many different high view websites as I already upload editorial stock. I feel like I am missing one final piece to the puzzle that keeps my income and assignments consistent. It is really really depressing. If there is any insight you can offer, I would greatly appreciate it.

I am a 14 year old aspiring photographer who would just like to get out there and maybe earn a little extra cash, would you recommend just selling copies of images so the client can then go on to print it off themselves or actually printing the image out for them to buy? And i was also wondering what type of pricing to include, would you go off experience or the quality and popularity of the image? Thanks for your time in advance.
Reply by Andrew Hudson, PhotoSecrets
January 13, 2016
Hi.
1. This depends upon what you want to do. If you just want to get on with taking photos, you could let the client do the printing while you get on with the next project. That is what I do. But if you want to make the most money from this project, then you could do the printing for the client, and make money on the printing. That is what many portrait and wedding photographers do.
2. Pricing depends on what you think the client would pay. You could see what established photographers in your field charge. Photographers often have an hourly rate, a daily rate, and a percentage markup on products.

Thank you for a great article. I am at the beginning of my journey as a freelance photographer. I took several years of film photography in college and fell in love. Currently I do not own a digital camera, but am saving to purchase one. Recently I began taking photos with my iPhone more intentionally to get the ball rolling again. I have been using the app Foap as motivation to take pictures everyday. As I continue to save for a camera and build my portfolio, are there any websites or other apps you would recommend that would either help me make a little extra as I am saving or be worth spending time on? Thanks again.

Thanks for your question. Yes I have lots of info on that subject. Please visit copyright. Essentially you automatically get copyright when you take a photo, but for additional legal protection you can register the copyright. You can register a group of photos for one fee ($35?) at U.S. Copyright Office.

Focus on the type of photography that you are passionate about. Deliver high quality and become a leader in your chosen niche market. Microstock is the easiest place to start -- just submit good photos and money should trickle into your bank account. You could sell postcards in local shops, or offer portrait services to friends and businesses. Start simple and see where the market takes you.
Good luck,

Hello,
Great page, thanks. :)
I dont normally do this but you seem very helpful and there’s a few things I could do with answering.
I’ve been to college, got qualified, been practicing hard for the last three years. I’ve gathered equipment I’m happy with, editing software, etc. Due to recent unemployment I now feel the time is right for me to follow my dream and work for myself. I have opened a shop on Etsy selling fine art photography but now want to also go freelance. As soon as I finish typing this I’m going to adjust my website to suit a freelance photographer.
If you’ll be so kind my questions are:
Can I simply send a link of my website to magazines, book publishers, etc. Would they bother taking a good look? Or do I really have to tailor the selection of images I send each potential customer?
I know certain companies will want files prepared in certain ways such as Jpeg, Tiff’s, etc but can I simply say all files are available in Jpeg only? Would that affect the chances of making sales?
I plan to sale mainly nature, wildlife, environmental images, etc. Going back to the first question, it seems I literally need to hastle customers with new images, is it acceptable to once a month send a list of new images they may be interested in if they’ve ignored my first few emails?
Is there any advice you can offer me please? I realise I’m asking alot! Hahaha
Kind regards

GOING FREELANCE
Hi Alan,
Thanks for your comment.
1. You could simply send a link, although magazines probably get lots of such links. You’ll be lost in the crowd, a small fish in a big pool. Try focusing on a niche, a particular type of freelance work that you like to do. Then you can stand out, as a big fish in a small pool.
2. There’s no need to say anything about JPEG/TIFF at this time. Make yourself look easy to work with. If someone wants to work with you, you can discuss the details then.
3. Going back to my first answer, there are a lot of photographers offering nature and wildlife shots. Find something that you are particularly good at. You could package your work for customers you want to work with. For example, if you want to get into a particular magazine, add some text and turn your work into an article, ready for publishing.
Good luck!

Unfortunately I do not review photos. Manyi people ask and my wife says I should wet that up as a service, so maybe in the future.
The only true way to see if your photos are suitable to sell is to try and sell some. Pick a microstock site and upload some of your photos. (Try Shutterstock or Dreamstime.)
If your photos are good, they will sell, and you will make some money. If your photos need some work, the microstock site will say what the issues are.
Good luck, and thanks for the planes!

STARTING FRESH
Hi Missy,
Congratulations on starting the journey.
You are off to a good start. Keep photographing for your portfolio. Decide what sort of photography you want to do. Concentrating on a niche allows you to target your development, your portfolio and your marketing.
You could start by offering your services for free and let your customers pay if they are satisfied. That will allow you to get your foot in the door and build some contacts and experience. One job often leads to another and you charge more as you proceed.
Good luck,

WHAT IS A PORTFOLIO?
Hi Fari,
A portfolio is a small presentation of your best work, for a potential client to review and be impressed by.
Start by deciding what sort of freelance work you would like to get. Then work on taking impressive photos. Your portfolio might be just six to ten photos, but it generally requires many photos to get the best shots.
Things to keep in mind are that focusing should be sharp, composition should be simple, color and lighting should be effective.

CAMERA CHOICE
Hi Jabbar:
They are both good cameras. If you can, go to store that allows you to try them both out. Pick the camera that you feel most comfortable with, that you can understand how to use.
Most photographers have a preference. Personally I like Nikon so I would get the D5200, but many photographers prefer Canon and would likely recommend the 600D.

Hi Lori:
Just with photography, there are no rules! You can provide whatever you like. A well-edited selection of your very best work may suffice to get you freelance work. A list of big-name past clients looks good, but if you’re new and don’t have that yet, then skip that.
