I agree with you man. Lol. Thats how SG garment make things look real nice on the surface while neglecting those down beneath.
Anyway... Wedding photography business is getting tougher and tougher. Plus a lot of newcomers willing to slash price until the figures hit below 1k.
So.. If you have no experience and are hired to be a wedding photographer, don't be surprise if you are paid only $500.
Wedding photography business used to be a pretty lucrative trade but not now. Its not easy and the pay is low... Go ask those wedding photographer whether they earn more with event shoots or wedding, you'll be surprised by the difference.
TS, if it is possible then you would not have started this thread. Oh well, unless you are a celebrity photographer then maybe.

if so good, all other workers drop what they are doing and become photogs...
truth is...this "skill" is washed down by technology and tom dick and harry can do it.
it has lost its value
there are zero barriers to entry into the occupation
it has become a very low value occupation not appreciated by the population
I am sure skeptics are really great in let you think further outside the square... some will tell you it won't work and "oo yiah boh"... which is a very natural response.
However, for those who successfully challenge the popular belief do make things work.
It is amazing how your mind works... If you think it is impossible, your every actions will try to support what your mind thinks and your heart desire...
Everything in life isn't easy... but it is definitely possible.
There are 2 things are certain in life if you live and work in Singapore... Tax and Death... :sweat:

For a photog company, income is
revenues
minus
cost of sales, operating expenses, taxes
over a given period of time.
For a photog working as an employee, income is
his salary over a period of time
Income is not company turnover.
Making 6 figure (100,000 or up to 999,999) within 1 or 2 years of set-up photog company is wishful thinking.
Don't bluff yourselves.
Rather than just thinking of the possibilities, why not create a poll like "How much did you earn in your 1st year from photography". If 2 in 10 put >$100k, then you know you have 20% chance of doing so. This is the empricial method.
$100k is a lot seriously. Other professionals like teacher earn <$40k in their first year, lawyer ~50K.
