The burning questions that the people of Quora have about photography as a profession

For people outside the industry, the idea of photography as a profession is a rather mystical one. People I meet are often intrigued about how it actually all works and what makes a professional photographer in London different than a hobbyist on holiday. The subject often sparks debate and many questions. How was that shot created? How can I do that type of photography myself? Can you earn a living as a professional photographer?? So today I thought I would dip a toe in the opinion based wormhole that is Quora, and answer some of the top questions people have on photography as a profession, in hope that I can debunk a few myths and answer a few questions.

Commercial Photographers Like Me are a Must if Brands Want to Succeed

If you’ve browsed the Internet, used social media or read a magazine today – you have consumed the work of a commercial photographer.

To help best illustrate what exactly a commercial photographer is I’ll use my favourite subject, fashion! Let’s imagine you’ve just opened your own boutique, selling clothes you have designed and made. You want to market your designs online and showcase your beautiful new store! But, you decide to take all the photography with your iPhone, yourself… Now, unless you’re some kind of mobile photography whizz-kid, the shots you take are really not going to show off your work and could seriously impact the attractiveness of your business. You need a commercial photographer to come in and help you show the world how amazing your garments and store is.

Want to turn your passion into something more & start a Freelance Photography Career? Now’s the time to do it and I’m going to show you how.

A freelance photography career is very similar to the opportunity of running your own business, its one of those dreams a lot of us have! Nobody looking over your shoulder, no boss micro-managing your every move, the ability to take a siesta in the afternoon… the last one might just be a personal plus point for me, but you get the point! A freelance career in what ever field promises freedom, but that newfound freedom can also bring greater responsibility, because if you’re not working, there’s nobody else to pick up the slack. But if you’re dedicated, passionate & you’re sure that a freelance photography career is right for you, it can be the most rewarding thing in the world.

Why is photography so important in advertising?

Photographs have the incredible power to capture emotions, priceless moments and the hidden beauty of even a seemingly mundane object. Advertising photography and the role it plays in preserving our memories is just as powerful as the potential it has in selling products or services.

Good photography, paired with a meaningful message can bring real impact to people’s lives. Through my photography work I know that I won’t just be shooting imagery for my client to advertise to potential customers, I will be creating a unique vision and story as well. As every photo tells a story, I always aim to show mine in ways that capture the views attention and complement the appeal of the services the client has to offer.

To deliver that perfect photo for advertising, I think of these 3 key elements are important for any brand:
