    Dreaming To Be A Famous Photographer

    10 answers to your 10 reasons NOT to become a professional photographer

     

    1. Running a photography business has little to do with photography...

     

    - of course photography in the most basic sense is considered an art form and people who take part in this are artists with a keen eye and a creative streak. Most artists are no businessmen and most of the time takes no heed of the costs rather they focus on the outcome of their work. The camera and the lens is the brush and the world is the canvas and a photographer’s goal is to capture this for posterity. It’s not a job it’s a passion and going pro is just one way of making your mark as an artist.

     

    2. You can earn more working full time at Starbucks...

     

    - Its not a question of making more. Consider a painter or a sculptor, how much do you think they earn? Do you think that when you see their works mounted on a frame that they sell like hotcakes? And when you say that you go pro do you honestly believe that photography will be the only thing that you do ALL THE TIME? Honestly parang hindi ka pinoy. Most Filipino artists’ right now do have regular jobs. They don’t sit down all day painting and sculpting. I have four kids that go to school and I pay rent but I still find the time to go out of town to shoot or draw and occasionally to write. Creativity is inherent in any artist. So if you say your “too busy” to do anything creative, then think again… your not an artist.

     

    3. Your workweek is almost twice as long as the average person’s...

     

    -so what? That’s the price you pay for your passion, for the art. Honestly if you can’t give time to do something that you love why bother? Craft and artistry is an ongoing learning process and the only time it ends is when your life does. There is always something new when you look through the lens and no matter how many lifetimes you go through you will never ever capture life in its entirety. But that’s the fun of it! Whatever you catch on film is a snippet of a time that will never come again.

     

    4. Weekends are work days...

     

    - true but do you think that because we miss out on these things that the time we spend behind the camera is not a happy day? Again my friend if you stop copy pasting articles from the net and pick up a camera and actually shoot you will never understand.

     

    5. You get to pay for your own health insurance...

     

    - interestingly enough statistics here in the Philippines already shows that only two out of ten Filipino’s have a functional health benefit and why would I need a 401k I don’t even live in the Younited Estates of Hamerica to be bothered by retirement plans. Again how many Filipino’s here actually have a retirement plan? Subsidized education? Why do you think our students end up joining the New People’s Army? The College of Fine Arts in U.P. Diliman used to be populated by students with farmer parents or from poor families now it’s populated by a parking lot full of cars since only the rich can afford the exorbitantly high cost of education. (no offence to my fellows in FA it’s just sad that that’s been the case with education nowadays)

     

    6. You get to pay for your own equipment!

     

    - ahh equipment, of course it is expensive. Tools are a necessity for any creative endeavor. But it does not automatically equate to being better at what you do. The equipment that you have only extends the creative boundaries but the lack of equipment does not limit it! As an artist I can compare with any photographer here using a Canon EOS with my photos shot using my NOKIA N-73! That’s how confident I am with my craft. Worried about software? I can go to Greenhills and buy a dozen graphic media at about 100 pesos a piece. And there are tons of free ware on the internet that you can download and use. Not to mention second hand photographic gear and peripherals that you can now get at cheaper prices. Ever heard of Hidalgo? Plus if you are part of a group you buy stuff as a group and share them around. That cuts your costs down; everybody knows this except you of course.

     

    7. It’s easy to book jobs if you’re only charging $2-3k/wedding...

     

    - my answer to point number 2 covers this more or less…

     

    8. The immigrants weekend warriors are coming to take over your job!

     

    - this I say will boil down to the quality of work that you can come up with. Anybody on this thread knows that anyone can pick up a half decent camera then point and shoot (sadly your one of them I’m sure). You jump and scream… hooray! I took a picture! But are you any good? In any type of endeavor there is always competition and that’s what makes it good because it pushes you to be unique to be different. It keeps you on your toes and makes you aware of the things that you have to improve on. Besides ganyan naman talaga dito sa atin. Ngayon magtayo ka ng barbikyuhan bukas makalawa apat na kayo na magkakatabi! The only difference na lang is how you make the sauce or kung mas marami at malaman ba ang barbikyu mo or kung yung hotdog na binebenta mo ay “tender juicy”. If you cant keep up with the competition then we all end up like you copy pasting negative articles to this thread.

     

    9. Most people cannot tell the difference between great and average photography...

     

    - I have to say you are wrong… kawawa ka naman para kang walang friends if you think people have no way of knowing a good job and an exceptional piece of work! Part of your statement is true if your work is just average. Pero kaya nga sya learning experience eh. (Pasensya ka na kung hindi kami pinanganak na naglalakad at may bigote na katulad mo) Everybody has to start from scratch somewhere, knowing that along the way you should be able to accept any criticism regarding your work and that you would need to improve on them.

     

    10. Most never make it...

     

    - let me guess… you’re a statistic… a person who has lost to all of the negative things stated above. A person whose dreams was shattered and turned only to frustration… now bitter and sad that all his creativity has gone all to waste. Nobody appreciates his artistic work so he has stopped and is content at sitting behind his desk job for the rest of his life. Content with his 401 when he gets old and his Starbucks salary and his benefits, Well good for you! I extend my condolences.

     

    To most of us who’s heads are still in the clouds keep your feet on the ground and don’t let anyone say that your dreams are just a bunch of bull! Living your life is so much-much better than just surviving.

     

    Lets keep this thread going peeps! :thumbsupsmiley:

    ditto! :thumbsupsmiley:

     

    Though reading this reminded me of a thread I browsed weeks ago about a photographer who charges 2K/event.

    "MANILA, Philippines -- The Philippine Basketball Association (PBA) has fined Talk ‘N Text over P1 million for walking out during their Game 4 quarterfinal match with Barangay Ginebra last week.

     

    PBA commissioner Sonny Barrios said that aside from the forfeiture of Game 4 in favor of the Gin Kings, the league has levied a P500,000 fine on the Tropang Texters, the amount of which shall be paid to Ginebra under section 32 of the PBA constitution and by-laws.

     

    On top of the P500,000 fine, TNT’s share in the gate receipts and TV revenues for that game, which could be anywhere from P200,000 to P250,000, has also been forfeited in favor of the 9 other PBA ballclubs." LINK: http://www.abs-cbnnews.com/sports/02/09/10...-m-fine-walkout

     

    Yeah buti nga. Dapat lang sa kanila yan. Akala nila ok lang na mag walk out basta basta ha. Bayad kau ngaun!

    Kung tutuusin, maliit pa yung 1M na fine against Añejo Rhum nung 90's.

     

     

     

    ;) :lol:

    Game 1 is a blowout game for alaska. the final score is alaska 160 - bgk 60. Miller scored 150 and LA added 10. kevin white score 60 for ginebra. JC did not play due to migraine.

     

    Game 2 is a close game but ginebra could not sustained the pressure as it goes to triple overtime. The final score is alaska 88 bgk 87. JJ miss both the two crucial free throws of the last .3 of a seconds.

     

    Game 3 is a very physical game. Tubid was brutally slapped on the face by sonny thoss but no foul was called. Ginebra decided to walk out with just 30 seconds being played in the game. Final score is alaska 3 - bgk 0.

     

    Game 4 is another down the wire game but for the most part of the game it seemed ginebra will lose but they came back from a 60 point deficit. caguioa is the best player of the game as he scored a career high 120 points. JC also get a new a career high of 80 points while JJ assist is a whooping 100. final score is bgk 200 - alaska 50 (all for LA)

     

    Game 5 went to 8th overtime but ginebra won the game thanks to hail mary shot of rich alvarez on the last 2 seconds of the 8th overtime. final score is bgk 160 - alaska 159.

     

    Game 6 is another walk out incident this time alaska did it because of a flagrant penalty 2 slapped on sonny thoss and la tenorio for accidentally or intentionally elbowing kevin white. score is bgk 2 - alaska 0.

     

    Game 7 goes to ginebra. final score bgk 113 - alaska 100

     

    copy paste lang po.....
