- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
The best (highest revenue) freelance photographers in my city did not go to school for photography. Many of the salary photographers at some of the major image studios got a degree in business.
Try and get an assisting job. You can make decent money ($250-300/day) while you learn. My studio partner said he learned far more assisting than from photography school. You also will have a base of income to slowly make the transition to freelance photographer.
I studied business for 3 years and web/graphic design for 1. I found I needed non photographic knowledge more to be successful.
