To restate your question,"How much do you get paid as a photographer!?" The standard answer I give to anyone seeking a career in photography is that if your first question is how much do I get paid then find another career!. Most of the photographers I went to school with are not in photography anymore and are doing other things to support their interest in the field!. If you love photography but money is a concern let me say that photography makes an excellent hobby!. That said a few of us make it, I am both an in-house product photographer as well as freelance photographer and I make a decent middle class income, but then again I really work hard to do this as I work 6 days a week and rarely see a vacation of more than 2 days in a row!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

It depends on what kind of photographer you are and how much education and experience you have!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
