How to do Product Photography Business

It is essential to understand that as a Product Photographer, you need to have to be a creative-minded person, who is always looking for better quality photos. Your objective should be the perfection in every aspect. Viewers cannot find mistakes in it.

But in BUSINESS, this strategy fails. If you always try to find the perfection of everything that it could never reach completion. In Business, you need to move fast and change things quickly according to the need of the Customer, who is buying your pictures.

You need to be much more than a Photographer, as you will be handling your clients who can be very demanding at times. You need to have the proper skills to handle situations. You need to be as much as a Photographer as an Entrepreneur and maintain a healthy balance into it.

Understanding Business is a big topic to be covered in this post, you’ve to know each step as to how a business is created.

How much money can you make

Making Money in the Product Photography business is a subjective thing, as when you are starting in this business, it will be hard for you to make a dime. You’ll have to offer your service for FREE to gain some traction in the Industry.

But after you offer value to your customers, then you can gain some authority in your niche and increase the value per image such as 10-30 USD per Image. As more quality images you make and more popularity you gain, you can charge Hundreds or Thousands of dollars per session.

Making real money depends on the customer you are creating Product Photos for. Big renown companies can give you Thousands of Dollars for a Single Image.

Assist a Pro Product Photographer

You learned about doing Product Photography as a Business. But in reality, not everyone can do a Business properly, as you might be afraid of the risk of doing business.

You may not be sure enough to start a business, so you can assist an excellent Commercial Product Photographer and earn a Salary doing it.

Many Commerical Product Photographers are doing big shoots for the Big Companies, and it is not possible for them to do it alone. They need assistants to help them in accomplishing their Shoots quickly. They need good assisting hands who can listen to them and do what they want.

So for some folks, it’s a golden chance for joining the Industry, and have a closer look on how they are running their business effectively.

How to become an Assitant to Product Photographer

Becoming an assistant to a Product Photographer is easy if you understand People Skills, and be a good and helpful person.

Before assisting any Product Photographer, you must know the basics of Product Photography.

As you learn some basics and practice taking some photos, Contact your favorite Commercial Product Photographer (through Email). Don’t spam with hundreds of Emails.

In the Email mention first what value you are going to provide to the Photographer and then tell about yourself and how you are going to help him/ her by assisting. Not everyone is going to reply but very few will if they understand, that they will be benefitted by making you an assistant.

One thing you can do is directly visit the studio and talk with them in person. But again, don’t try to sell yourself but be genuine and tell them how you are going to help them.
