Has new technology decrease your photography buisness?
Now that we're in the digital age where everyone out there with a camera phone or digital camera think that they are a photographer have you lost a great deal of buisness???
I recently opened up a Portrait Studio in a town thats 45 minutes away from a town with several studios, anyways I've only had 5 customers in two months. I also go to festivals and set up there as well. Yesterday I went to an expo, I paid over $500 to be in this expo there were over 20,000 people in attendance, I was the only photographer who was offering photo service with same day delivery. I only had 12 customers. It was a big loss for me. Several celebrities were at the expo and when they came on stage the majority of the people pulled out there camera phones and 3mp cameras.
I am now getting discourage and that new technology has messed it up for us true photographers. Please give me your feedback on this topic. I've been doing photography for 5 years.
well, the business is certainly changing, but I wouldn't say that it has dropped. Booths like the one you described have always been an iffy investment. Studio space is often overpriced and rarely pays for itself.
Look into shooting on location, say outside or at the home of the client. Backdrops frequently look cheesy anyway.
Most people have had access to their own camera for decades. There have always been people who think that they are as good as the professionals just because they have an expensive camera. But technology really isn't hurting us as it really doesn't make anyone better at taking photos.
