Photography can be a competitive and unforgiving trade, however there are many strategies for professional success. This book is a resource for photographers of all kinds and demonstrates the many ways to manage a career in photography, while still “earning enough money to support yourself, a family, your interests, your aspirations, and your passion.” Mastering the Business of Photography offers insights into what happens when you’re not shooting-which is most of the time-and explains what you must do to further your career, make a living, and accomplish your personal goals. Topics include:

• Organizing assignments from start to finish
• Creating a plan and calculating risks
• Building a standout portfolio
• Anticipating financial matters
• Working with clients
• Self-promoting
• Getting paid
• Booking gigs
• Negotiating a contract
• And much more
